Counting my many Blessings -and naming them one by one

I love Thanksgiving because it makes me set back and reflect on all the things that I am thankful for.  The scriptures teach us that we need always be thankful for everything. Very often in my prayers I ask help from our Heavenly Father to help me recognize all my blessing. The Lord has blessed my family with so many many blessing and he continues to bless us. I can't help but think that the Lord would continue blessing my family if I cannot say Thank-you for all the things that he has blessed me with or at least repent of not recognizing them all. I think a lot of our blessings come from trials and experience that we couldn't possible think that no good could ever come from them. I think those blessing perhaps may be some of our greatest blessings. 

I have a million things that I am grateful for but let me just name a few.

I am thankful for the companionship I have with my Heavenly Father. At times I feel like I take for granted the power of prayer. To talk with Heavenly Father any given time of the day or hour reassures me that I am loved beyond measure.

I am thankful for Jesus Christ. It is wonderful to know that someone knows exactly what I am going through and understands all my problems. I am eternally grateful for His unselfish sacrifice that makes it possible for me to be reunited with loved ones from the other side and the ones here on earth. I am grateful for him that I can repent of all my selfish sins and be forgiven of them. 

I am thankful for my family immediate and extended. This is huge and probably for a lot of you. I can't help but thank about Elder Hollands recent conference talk entitled "The Ministry of Angels" and think about how I am encircled with so many angels that are living and past.  The influence, comfort, and help I get from them I cannot express my gratitude enough. Thank you!

I am thankful for the gospel- I wouldn't know who I would be without the gospel nor do I want to know. The gospel has blessed my life including my families life. I am grateful for my husband and His priesthood. The comfort and protection I get from that is remarkable. The temple is also something that I couldn't not live without. The peace I get from the temple is something that's indescribable. 

I am thankful for all my needful things; such as, my house that I live in, my clothes that I wear, the food that I eat, and my health; as well as, my families. I pray that I will always have these things. I feel like the Lord as always blessed me with these things and it's when I see other lack, lose or has never had these things that make me humble and fall to my knees.
