Yesterday the Relief Society lesson was on gratitude. We all know that when we pray to Heavenly Father we thank him for our blessings. But we somethings just leave it at that. There are so many blessings each one of us have in our lives that should thank Him for each and every blessing that he gives us specifically.
At the end of the lesson we were given the challenge to write down 100 things we are grateful for in our journal. Since I use this blog as my journal I am going to do it here and let you all know as well.
Since some might think writing 100 things that you are grateful for might be a little hard they gave us an outline of how to get to 100 things. There are 10 categories and you write 10 things per category.
So here we go!

After doing this challenge, I have noticed that it is a lot harder than I thought it was. But I am glad I took the time to write down things that I am thankful for. And 100 things just scratch the surface of all the things I am grateful for. Even if it was hard to write down 100 things I know I can think of so many more. I hope that I start to notice more of the things that I should be grateful rather than the things that I wish I didn't have or I wish I did have/could have.
I now challenge anyone who reads this to do the same thing.
