Eternally Thankful

How quick are people to forget the Lord.

The numerous blessings he gives us are to numerous to count!

But let me name a few anyway:

• The Eternal Plan of Happiness

This plan, I feel, is best described in the words of  the Primary song "I Lived in Heaven"

I lived in heaven a long time ago, it is true;

Lived there and loved there with people I know. So did you.

Then Heav’nly Father presented a beautiful plan,

All about earth and eternal salvation for man.

 Father said he needed someone who had enough love

To give his life so we all could return there above.

There was another who sought for the honor divine.

Jesus said, “Father, send me, and the glory be thine.”

 Jesus was chosen, and as the Messiah he came,

Conquering evil and death through his glorious name,

Giving us hope of a wonderful life yet to be—

Home in that heaven where Father is waiting for me.

• Our Savior and Redeemer.

Does this need to be elaborated on? He came to earth to live, to show you and me how to live.

"And also that ye might know of the coming of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Father of heaven and of earth, the Creator of all things from beginning; and that ye might know the signs of his coming, to the intent that ye might believe on his name." (Helaman 14:12)

• An Eternal Family

I have a family here on earth.

They are so good to me.

I want to share my life with them through all eternity.

Families can be together forever

Through Heavenly Father's plan

I always want to be with my own family,

And the Lord had shown me how I can.

The Lord has shown me how I can

While I am in my early Years, 

I'll prepare most carefully,

So I can marry in God's temple for eternity

(Families Can Be Together Forever, Children's Hymbook)

• The True and Living Gosple of Jesus Christ

Mosiah 17:2 says:

2 But there was one among them whose name was ^aAlma, he also being a descendant of Nephi. And he was a young man, and he^bbelieved the words which Abinadi had spoken, for he knew concerning the iniquity which Abinadi had testified against them; therefore he began to plead with the king that he would not be angry with Abinadi, but suffer that he might depart in peace.

And this is true. The gospel of Jesus Christ is true and everlasting.

Joseph Smith was a prophet and he translated the Book of Mormon, and shared this testament of Christ with the entire world! This book is now translated into 107 different languages.

 It is True. 

It testifies of Christ and it brings me closer to my Father in Heaven every time I read it.

Concerning this record the Prophet Joseph Smith said: “I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book.”

                                        (Introduction to the Book of Mormon)

3 ^aAngels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore, they speak the words of Christ. Wherefore, I said unto you, ^bfeast upon the ^cwords of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will ^dtell you all things what ye should do. 

 5 For behold, again I say unto you that if ye will enter in by the way, and receive the Holy Ghost, it will ^ashow unto you all things what ye should do. 

(2 Nephi 32: 3,5)
