Thanksgiving!

On this day of Thanksgiving I would like to take time to express thanks for a few things I don't normally do enough.

Firstly-- I am thankful for God.
Several weeks my ward had ward conference. It was, in fact, one of the best conferences I have ever attended. In it, our Bishop and Stake President both spoke about getting to know God. The gist of it is; To know Him, is to spend time with Him. This principle is true in getting to know God, but is also true in developing relationships with people--and also one that I have been applying in my effort to be a more sociable person this year.

Out bishop listed 5 keys to getting to know God:

1. Daily prayer
2. Daily scripture study
3. Daily act of service
4. Daily acknowledge God's divinity
5. Increase your obedience Daily.

I have always been a fan of lists. I like to know where I stand and what I need to improve on. I have this list hanging on my bathroom mirror.

I am thankful for Christ.

I am thankful for my parents.

I am thankful for my friends.
