My wife and I recently did this together one Sunday morning
and it was very beneficial for us. We both enjoyed and loved being able to
reflect on our many blessings. It was wonderful and I encourage it. it was
taken from the Dec 2011 Ensign under the Youth section but I feel like anyone
and everyone should get in on it. So here is another version( I see no reason
why we can't continue to make these lists) Here it is for today:
Take a Gratitude
Challenge
By John Hilton III and
Anthony Sweat
Let’s not just talk
about counting our blessings—let’s do it! Write a list of 100 things you are
thankful for. If that sounds like it is too many, try this:
1. Write 10 physical
abilities you are grateful for.
2. Write 10 material
possessions you are grateful for.
3. Write 10 living
people you are grateful for.
4. Write 10 deceased
people you are grateful for.
5. Write 10 things
about nature you are grateful for.
6. Write 10 things
about today you are grateful for.
7. Write 10 places on
earth you are grateful for.
8. Write 10 modern
inventions you are grateful for.
9. Write 10 foods you
are grateful for.
10. Write 10 things
about the gospel you are grateful for.
When we make a list
like this, we discover that a list of 100 doesn’t even begin to scratch the
surface of all the things God has given us.
