I will give thanks unto my God forever.


Alma 26:37: "Now this is my joy, and my great thanksgiving; yea, and I will give thanks unto my God forever. Amen."

I've got a lot to be thankful for. He is a list of a few things.

1. I am so thankful for my family and that they are mine for eternity. I am so blessed to have parents who chose to be married in the temple so that I can be with them and my sisters forever.

2. I am so thankful for the opportunity to attend the incredible Brigham Young University. It is such a blessing to rub shoulders with the world's best students, professors, and faculty. 

3. I am so thankful for Blake. I don't know what I did to deserve to be blessed enough to have this incredible man in my life. I don't know what I would do without him, and I am so thankful for his example of missionary work that I will soon be following.

4. I am so thankful for my roommates. They are incredible and some of the best people I've ever met. I can't remember what my life was like without them.

5. I am so thankful for my extended family on both sides. They love me and support me in everything I do.

6. I am so thankful for my high school friends. Some of them may have moved onto different paths than me, but they made me who I am today and I am so grateful for their examples, support, and love.

7. I am so thankful for my health. Of course I have my issues, who doesn't, but I am able to live a happy and prosperous life with an incredible body that my Heavenly Father gave to me.

8. I am so thankful for the beautiful state of Utah in which I live. Utah has been the ideal place for me to be raised--I love its beautiful mountains, lakes, streams, deserts, and valleys.

9. I am so thankful that I will have the opportunity to serve a mission soon.

10. Lastly and most importantly, I am so thankful for the true gospel of Jesus Christ. I am so thankful to have a Savior who willingly came and suffered for me so that I can return to live with my Father in Heaven.
