Thanksgiving

In the season of thanks, i would just like to give a quick spiritual thought on recognizing our blessings. The other day we were street contacting in down town St. Johns, which we do at least 3 or 4 times a week, and i was having just a downer of a day. Nobody was talking to us and i was (still am) having troubles talking to people, and we were walking back to the car and i was just thinking about how many things i need to work on and how ineffective i was until i perfected those aspects, and really just bringing myself down, i was tired and just wanted to go crawl into my bed even though it was only the morning. Then i just had a voice come into my head that said "think about how blessed you are" I turned around at the top of the hill we had just walked up to see a beautiful scene of St. Johns. How blessed am I. I am serving my mission in one of the most beautiful parts of the country. I have a companion i get a long with, I have a name tag with the name of Jesus Christ on it. He has chosen me to represent Him. How blessed am I. I was raised with an amazing family who is strong in the gospel. I have a knowledge of our Heavenly Father who loves me and will bless me even though im not a perfect teacher. I get to spend the next 17 months of my life, not having to worry about rent and money, or any worldly thing, i get the opportunity to share my knowledge and my blessings with everyone i meet. And how blessed am I to have the Holy Ghost with me to remind me of these blessings when im feeling down.
