As I've reported in this space before, I'm a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. We worship on Sundays, and so this morning I went to church with my family and some of my in-laws. It was a great day, and so my Gratitude List is related to that:
1) I'm grateful for my faith that God exists and that He is concerned about me individually and all of us collectively. This gives me confidence that what I do actually matters and that there is a purpose in life.
2) I'm grateful for my faith that God sent his Son, Jesus Christ, to Earth to make it possible for all of us to be forgiven of our all the sins (i.e. all that stupid stuff we so easily do to offend God and those around us) we commit throughout our lives. This gives me confidence that even though I'm not perfect, I can look forward to a better future with so much more cool stuff to do!
3) I'm grateful for the church, which is God's own church upon this Earth designed to strengthen and uplift us and to teach us better ways to enjoy life here and to prepare for life beyond this mortal existence. This gives me the tools I need to try to be a better person, so that I need to utilize that whole repentance thing even less. Yeah, it's a cool system.
So there you have it for today. Good night!
