#GiveThanks Day 6

 

Thought for Day 6: I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn from my ancestors. I've found stories of faith, courage, and success. I have also found stories of less than ideal choices. I don't judge my ancestors. None of us are perfect. We all have struggles. Both the good and the bad stories from my family history challenge me to rise to the best within myself. They highlight the need to continually hold to truth and right. I'm thankful that the stories have been saved--and I can share them as "memories" on FamilySearch--so that I can continue to learn from my ancestors.

Thought for Day 7: I'm thankful for the commandments of God. They aren't always easy to obey. They require discipline and we can always improve our obedience. But as we continue to put our best efforts towards keeping the commandments of God, we are blessed with greater peace, joy, and stability. Keeping the commandments also qualify us for other blessings, including access to holy temples. #GiveThanks

  Thought for Day 3: I'm thankful for the peace I feel when I am in a temple.

I think this is another of the great blessings of having temples upon the earth. #GiveThanks
