Day 17

I'm grateful for church! I know that in the long run, the tantrums, screaming, 1+ hours to get the kids ready, the struggle during sacrament etc....well it will all be worth it!  I am grateful for amazing testimonies! I appreciate the diversity in the church and for the amazing strength from everyone!  I'm grateful for family!  I am so very grateful for having a roof over my head and plenty of food to eat.  I sometimes take it for granted!  A person came in to church today and shared his testimony (not a member but was inspired to come into this building--not even knowing it was a church) and how he was homeless, 21, no family, left home at 13, been raped, among tons of other trials and yet he had faith and was grateful to God for all he had! He was even going to college to study Business Management.  Grateful for strong men and women around me too!
