Grateful.

Today, I am grateful.

Recently, my mom has had some health issues and it has been kind of scary at some points. But she is okay. And I am so thankful for that.

Also, I am grateful for the scriptures.

Last night I was reading in Alma 38 and it touched my heart. In verse 5, Alma says,

"And now my son, Shiblon, I would that ye should remember, that as much as ye shall put your trust in God even so much ye shall be delivered out of your trials, and your troubles, and your afflictions, and ye shall be lifted up at the last day."

We all experience the trials, troubles, and afflictions that Alma mentions here. But if we trust in the Lord (as it says in Proverbs 3:5-6), we will find the comfort that we need and we will be delivered. He will not leave us comfortless (John 14:18).

Our Father in Heaven loves each and every one of us. He wants us to turn to Him in our times of need and know that He will always give us the strength and comfort that we need if we ask for it.

I am grateful for a Heavenly Father who is so mindful of me.

I am grateful for the Plan of Salvation that allows us to repent and to feel comfort and happiness, even in our darkest times.

I am grateful for the people that our Father in Heaven has placed in my life to help me.

I am grateful for the lessons that He allows me to learn.

I am grateful for the scriptures and the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Today, I am grateful.
