Thankful for Christ

I couldn't let the Thanksgiving season pass without expressing my gratitude for our Savior, Jesus Christ. Reading about his last hours this past week, I could not help but be overcome by the love He had for his apostles, for the Jews, and for the world. I feel an ever-strengthening testimony that He is the Son of God and that he voluntarily suffered so much because He truly loved us. I think about the small sacrifices I make for my family and for my husband and I sometimes I grumble and groan about silly little things. I know that one of the reasons the Savior lived on this Earth was because we needed an example to follow, someone to look to for direction in everything. I love calling upon Him to be my example because somehow, someway, I find strength and an iron will that I did not posess before. I love Him and someday I want to look into His eyes and tell Him "Thank you for loving me, for never giving up on me, and for buoying me up when I was drowning."

So the simple statement of prinicple is, "Jesus Christ is our example in all things. Look to Him and we will find unknown strength to endure and have joy in this life."

I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
