I thought it might be useful to suggest a thread where we we can all share our blessings. It would be uplifting to read what others say, and what they are thankingful for. I think it could neutralize the constant negativity we hear from the news, and other people.

Perhaps I'm alone in this, time will tell, but I thought I'd list some recent blessings:

1. Attended a Church play called Savior of the World, and felt the Spirit very strongly when Doubting Thomas actually met the Savior. It was touching.

2. My children trust me enough to tell me the important things that go on in their lives.

3. I have a very good friend of 10 years. We haven't physicially seen each other in about 8 years, but he we talk almost weekly by the phone. His friendship is unconditional, and he's supportive of my no matter what challenges or mistakes I have made.

4, My wife is attractive to me after almost 20 years of marriage and is a loyal, good, hardworking person.

5. I live in a nice section of town with a house that I really like. ]]> Share mormonmusic http://www.lds.net/forums/share/27900-share-your-thanks-blessings.html http://www.lds.net/forums/share/27834-thank-god-your-problems.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:02:05 GMT Thank God for your problems
For that's where blessings hide.
In the midst of trouble,
An answer is tucked inside.

Problems are only blessings,
Turned from inside out.
Do not get discouraged;
Do not begin to doubt.

For the Lord does His best work
When all hope is gone.
It's when you're at your weakest,
That He will make you strong.

You know you're walking with the Lord,
When troubles come your way,
For the devil's mighty mad,
And would like your faith to sway.

But troubles are a signpost
God's working in our lives.
It's then He shapes and molds us
To be just more like Christ.

He may not take the prickly thorn
From beneath our flesh.
But His grace is sufficient
To see us through the test.

Just hold on through the darkness,
Then the light will come.
It's only after struggle
That the victory's won.

Yes, problems are only blessings
Clothed in dark array.
Thank God for your problems
For a blessing's on the way.
