So what we do is we write a list of when we recognize the hand of the Lord in our lives throughout today or even this past week. Maybe today, it's blessings that I'm grateful for, or is that the same thing?-I had lots of fun at the dance with Emily.-I have a new visiting teaching list (a calling-ish)-and I'm visiting teaching awesome people.-and Debbie's my companion.-I'm grateful that the apartment's doing well, that we have quiet times and fun times and we all are there for eachother.-We have internet and cable! Yay!-I've been writing in my journal today-I can watch general conference several months late-the lessons at church were meant for me.-it stopped raining today!-I was able to write a melody yesterday.-I have more minutes on my cell phone now!-My family loves me.-Brian loves me.-I made it through this week (it's been a long one!)-Annalaura played "My kindness shall not depart from thee" in Sunday school.-I have good friends - it's nice to see all of my friends from the branch and from WMU again!-I'm really grateful for Brian's family too, they helped me out on Wednesday when I was having a bad day, and Emily gave me a hug too. -I've been keeping track of my gas miles.-I have a job and financial aid money.-I love my major.-I turned in my study abroad application.-We have AC-We are safe from the storm - there was a tornado warning but we were safe. :)-I looked nice today, and I noticed it, and I think that's a blessing too.-My Heavenly Father and Savior love me.Wow, that list came faster than I thought it would. And look how many things! And I feel so much happier. I hope I try this more often, maybe just on my own or for more people I'm not sure. Either way, I'm grateful, and I hope others try this too.Love,Stephi
