Recognizing Blessings!

I love this quote by President Dieder F Uctdorf,

"Brothers and Sisters, no matter our circumstances, no matter our challenges or trials, there is something in each day to embrace and cherish. There is something in each day that can bring gratitude and joy if only we will see and appreciate it."

Sometimes when going through difficulties in our lives we might focus on the negative of our current condition. In order to give thanks each day it is better to find even the smallest things to be thankful for. 

This is really why I started this blog several months ago. I have found so much peace as I try and focus on the blessings in my life each day. Sometimes trials and challenges can seem to overwhelm or overcome me.  If I allow my struggles to swallow me up I am left empty and frustrated. If I focus on the simple blessings or tender mercies that happen each day, my load is lighter, my countenance is happier, and I feel that I can carry this burden with greater ease.

Focusing on the many blessings I have really help me to stay positive and patient while I wait and endure this process. I know the Lord will always bless my life each day and I just have to do my part and try and focus on the many blessings he sends to me each day!

I don't know how long before I will be able to find what will help put this disease into remission, but one thing I know for sure, is that I do not have to do it alone and that the Lord will continually bless me throughout this process. All I need to do is to look for and recognize the blessings sent to me each day.
