Attitude of Gratitude
November is my favorite month in the WHOLE year!
Why?
Well, First because the world is so GORGEOUS this time of year!
But also, because it's the month of
THANKSGIVING
Which means it's the month where I am making a consistent effort to give thanks in all things.
We are all so very blessed.
Just think about it.
There is a God, and he loves each one of us. He knows us individually, by name, and is very aware of our circumstances.
He wants to help us be successful.
And he wants us to be HAPPY!
It doesn't matter who God is to you, in what way you worship him, what your relationship with him is, if you are super religious, or not religious at all. It doesn't matter if you go to church every week, or if you go when you need it. It doesn't even matter if you don't believe that God is real. No matter what you believe, God does love you, and he does bless you every.single.day.
Don't believe me?
Take the next five minutes to just sit, and ponder all the wonderful things that you feel blessed to have, and write them down.

Did you count your blessings?
I hope you did! And I hope that you realized that you truly are blessed, that God knows you personally, and loves you very deeply. Because you are worth every effort.
I know that God loves me, and he has blessed me immensely in my life. I know this without a doubt.
How?
>This beautiful world that we live in stands as evidence to me that God is real. [[I mean just look outside at all the beautiful colors on the changing trees!]]
>I know that God blessed me with my wonderful family. Without them, I would feel so lonely in this world. But I know that they will always be there for me, to help me, and to make me smile.
>I am grateful for my knowledge of the power of prayer. I know that God hears me, and he answers my prayers.
>God gave me music. It's a part of who I am. I am grateful for all the opportunites he places in my path for me to share music with people every single day. Music speaks to the soul in a way that words are not able to reach us.
> I am blessed to have rain boots to keep my feet dry on rainy days like today!
> I am grateful for the opportunity I have each day to read from the scriptures, and apply the teachings in my life. It is such a blessing to learn about Jesus Christ daily, and I try my hardest to live my life as he lived his. This brings me peace. A kind of peace that can only come through Christ. [[ See John 14:27, or Alma 38:8-9]]
>I am so grateful to not only come to know my Savior better, but to help others learn about Him too! It truly is a blessing to devote all my time, talents, and energy to serving God, and testifying of Jesus Christ.
These are just a few of the blessings in my life.
My heart is just overflowing with gratitude! This time of year is a time to give thanks in ALL things. It's a time to prepare ourselves for the Christmas season. Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world. I know it. And I am grateful for his sacrifice.
In life, we all want to find success and do great things, and with God on our side, we CAN.
"I can do ALL things through Christ which strengtheneth me." -Plilippians 4:13
We truly can have every success in life! And it all starts with an
>Attitude of Gratitude<
"A grateful heart is a beginning of Greatness"
So let's all rise up to our full potential, and find joy in our journey there, by having an attitude of gratitude every day this month!!
All it takes, is for you to write down 5-10 things every day that you are Grateful for.
Who's with me?
If you choose to rise up to this challenge,and experiment with me, I promise that you will be filled with joy. Each day will bring newfound blessings, and you will begin to truly see the hand of God in your life.
So come and experience happiness and joy like you never have before!
What can a little bit of gratitude hurt?
