Gratitude: my patriarchal blessing

Of course I can't post my blessing but I did want to just say that I am so grateful to have a patriarchal blessing and some of the reasons why.
It makes me feel who I really am and who I really want to be.
It reminds me how much my Heavenly Father loves me and to love others.
It assures me that the things that are most important to me in life will be accomplished.
It counsels me to remember to take care of myself physically and spiritually and remember the little things every day.
It compliments the talents and divinity within me and lets me know that my efforts are worthwhile.
It comforts me by letting me know that there is a plan for everything in my life - my trials, my joys, my experiences, and well, especially remembering that my trials are part of His plan. That means I can get through them and that they will make me stronger and that He will help me through them.

I know that each person that has a patriarchal blessing has a gift from God. It definitely helps with the lonliness thing. :) So take yours out - it took me a long time before I finally listened to that prompting to read it and I am so grateful that I did, especially after some rough days lately.

Love,
Stephi
