I have thought about what I would say for the month of November, and how I would translate that into what I am thankful for this month. I have spent so many years being thankful for everything in my life. I find it is time to become specific in my thankful feelings.
Day 1
Today, I am thankful for my life, I am so thankful for a loving mother and father who have been such an example to me of love and charity. My parents never held me back as a young girl, they always encouraged me to be the best person I could be and to follow my dreams. With out my mother and father I would of course not be here on this earth.
I realize that coming here to earth is a choice, I made the choice in heaven to follow Jesus Christ. I came here on this earth to gain a body, to be tested and tried. I am here to find out why I am here..
"Have you ever thought there must be something more to life than just living day to day? There is—much more. Your life has a divine purpose.
God, your Heavenly Father, has prepared a marvelous plan for your happiness. When you realize that God has a plan for you, it is easier to understand why you are on this earth. God wants all of His children to progress and become more like Him. This time on Earth provides opportunities for you to grow and progress. Coming here allows you to:
■Receive a physical body.
■Exercise agency and learn to choose between good and evil.
■Learn and gain experience that will help you become more like your Heavenly Father.
■Form family relationships that may become eternal.
By following our Heavenly Father’s plan, you—like all of His children—can someday return to live with Him and with your loved ones. You can have greater peace in this life and eternal joy in the life to come. " (Find this information here)
Why am I thankful for my life? Because although my life is not perfect, I have had a very good life. I have had traveled far and wide, I have been married to the same man for 32 years, have seven children, and seven grandchildren. My life although not perfect, is amazing.
