Week 15: Doctrine and Covenants 6:36-37

One thing I have been thinking about this week is how blessed we truly are.  I have seen a lot of things that are sad.  I have heard stories that cut to the core.  Whether it be temporal or spiritual, we are all exremely blessed.  The more we focus on our blessings and focus on the good things, the easier it is to get through the day, and not focus on the bad.  It doesn't make the hard times go away, but it puts our lives into perspective and helps us understand that not all of life is doom and gloom.  I know the more we focus on our blessings and develop a more grateful attitude, we will be happy.

"When upon life's billows you are tempest-tossed, When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost, Count your many blessings; name them one by one, And it will surprise you what the Lord has done."

Elder Poulsen
