#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.

I felt empowered after learning from professional genealogists. I'm excited to dig in and use my new resources and leverage my new knowledge; I'm sure both will help me for years to come. I am SOOO glad I choose to participate
