Amy's Paradigm: Gratitude

Gratitude

Tonight I am so grateful for family and friends.

We feasted this week-end in personal milestones and miracles for those near and dear to us.

I have witness the right of passage of a favorite teenager to adulthood and celebrated in medieval style.

I have enjoyed the beauty of a Utah spring day with great lacrosse games to enjoy.

I have watched spiritual milestones from those dearest to me. (The sweetest of all type of experiences.)

I have basked in the joy of a new temple--

and than capped the week-end off with a dear friend coming over and visiting about everything. You know the type of friend that just gets you--no explanations necessary. I don't remember a time in my life that I have been happier or felt more blest.

Sounds like you had a "gooda" Sunday. As it should be. It is these moments of gratitude, that help us grow and keep the faith. May you have many more days of gratitude. I love you all.

I kind of feel sad that I wasn't the friend who came over ... But since I have no idea where you live I probably couldn't be that friend. Sad. Glad you're well. LOVED talking to you today. LOVED.

"Let us review some of these less-conspicuous gifts: the gift of asking; the gift of listening; the gift of hearing and using a still, small voice; the gift of being able to weep; the gift of avoiding contention; the gift of being agreeable; the gift of avoiding vain repetition; the gift of seeking that which is righteous; the gift of not passing judgment; the gift of looking to God for guidance; the gift of being a disciple; the gift of caring for others; the gift of being able to ponder; the gift of offering prayer; the gift of bearing a mighty testimony; and the gift of receiving the Holy Ghost.
