I am grateful for the gospel in my life and the chance that i have to learn and grow through it. I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God and what the prophets of old are saying is true. I know that they wrote it for our day and that we can apply it to our lives and it can greatly help us overcome our challenges. I know that i can find strength in him and he answers my prayers so that i may overcome my trials and weaknesses. I am truely blessed in this life and am forever grateful to my Father and Heaven. It just reminds me of my favorite hymn Count Your Blessings. The first verse is my favorite where it says...

When upon lifes billows you are tempted tossed,
you are discouraged thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings name them one by one,
and it will surprise you what the Lord has done.
Count your many blessings, name them one by one.
Count your many blessings see what God hath done.
Count your blessings name them one by one.
Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.

I love that song and the meaning that is has for me. I realize that i am truely blessed everyday and i love that!!!
