It's a Beautiful Day

The sun is shining, birds are chirping, and little ones are laughing.

This Thanksgiving is different than past years. The saying "home for the holidays" actually means something to me now. This is the first time that a holiday reunites us. Even though we visited Max at Utah State only a couple weeks ago, it is always special to have our entire family together again.

And on this beautiful Thanksgiving day, 

I am thankful for autumn colors and pleasant weather. 

I am thankful for my dear friends who make me laugh everyday. 

I am thankful for the seminary program and the lessons I learn each day. 

I am thankful for my family and all that they do for me. 

I am thankful for the people who, through their examples, unknowingly encourage me to be better.

I am thankful for the authorities of our church, both local and general. 

I am thankful for the Priesthood, for the assurance, comfort, and blessings it gives.

And I am thankful for my Savior and His love.
