Okay, there is so
much to be thankful for. I love love love this time of year that we get to look
back and count the blessing our Father in Heaven has given us. All of the
tender mercies and see His hand so much.
So as for now I am
issuing all of you a challenge. Starting today, make a tender mercy/thanful
journal. Whether it's on your phone or in a real journal or on a sticky note or
whatever you've got make a tender mercy journal and start recognizing all the good
in your life and all the things the Lord has given you, and see His hand in
your life everyday. I've started doing this and it's truly amazing. I catch
myself being grateful for so much and I recognize the little thing more often
too!
But just a few things
I am grateful for are....
1. First and
foremost the Atonement of Jesus Christ and the ability that I have to repent
and change and become someone better through Him.
2. The Restored
Gospel of Jesus Christ
3. The temple and
that I get the opportunity to be with my family for all eternity and that
Heavenly Father loves us enough to give us those a place where we can make
covenants with Him and feel as close to Him as we possibly can.
4. My cute lil
family who happen to be partying in Hawaii without me. I still love them
though.
5. The Book of
Mormon! I am pretty sure I talk about it in every email but it is the greatest
thing. I can't even begin to express how much I love it and how true I know it
is. It really is a refuge and a place of peace where we come to know our Savior
more than anything else.
6. My time as a
Missionary and that the Lord has asked me to represent Him and His son and His
Church. That is one of the greatest blessings in my life and getting to see it
change the lives of others. I wouldn't trade that for anything in the entire
world.
7. My Savior, and
my best friend, Jesus Christ. I am so grateful He knows me so perfectly. And He
loved me enough to do what He did so I would not have to go through this life
alone.
8. The Plan of Happiness.
Sister Peterson once showed me this amazing scripture on it. It's Alma 24:14
and I truly know that our Heavenly Father giving us this plan because He loves
us so much. We don't get to know everything in this life. Actually I feel like
I know close to nothing but our Heavenly Father wanted to make one thing clear
that we do know, it is that we can have eternal happiness. That we can live
with Him and our families forever. That we know where we came from and where we
are going after this life. Such a tender mercy in my life to know that.
9. The Sacrament
and the opportunity we have to partake of it weekly and gain strength from
it.
10. The people
Heavenly Father has placed in my life at this time to strengthen me and help me
and for me to in turn do the same for them.
I love you all
lots and I want you to know how grateful I am for this opportunity that I have
to serve my Father in Heaven. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else right
now.
Love,
Sister Wade

CHRISTMAS VIDEO IS ALMOST HERE! HERE'S THE TEASER!!!!! AHHHHH!
AMAZING MIRACLE!!
A young man showed
up at the temple is a suit and asked to be baptized. Yes, how amazing is that!!
He had called ahead and put his name on the list to do baptisms because he
heard that the temple is where you become a Mormon. The Lord truly had prepared
him and he's going to be baptized on Saturday(:
