It's not Thanksgiving yet

Church is great.  

I'm not sure exactly what was said, but the message I got was:

"In order to be happy we need to be grateful."

I came home and taught a lesson to my kids about gratitude.  

I asked each person to think of a time in their life when they were grateful.

Then I asked them to think of something that had happened that day that they were grateful for.

We then started a gratitude journal.

Then we took a spontaneous trip to the beach to watch the sunset.

I think our Bishop was on to something.

Gratitude = Happiness.  

Try it.

I am grateful for this girl (who was willing to pose for a picture)...and the temple in the background!
