November is
the month of Thanksgiving. Hopefully
each of us has had a year full of many things to give thanks for. Take time to “Count your many blessings –
name them one by one.” Even if there have been trials this year, the simple act
of seeking for things to be grateful for will help us to recognize our many
blessings. This year we have enjoyed many things…rains that ended a drought, a
bounteous harvest to fill our jars, a job, a home to protect us, our family, a
great ward, a nearby temple, and our membership in the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints. As we watch the
disaster of a Monster Storm play out on the east coast we can find even more to
be grateful for. Even in the midst of trials we can find blessings that the
Lord sends our way. We show our gratitude to the Lord for all we have by
obeying His commandments and by being a good steward over what we have. Let us show
our gratitude this month by adding to our preparedness status in any way that
we can.
