The last day of my gratitude days.
I've had plans to share gratitude for this, specifically, today. It is the most important thing to me, above all else. It is my faith in my Savior, Jesus Christ.
I have a testimony that Jesus Christ lived, and died, for me. As I've prepared my lessons the last few months for our Relief Society meetings at church, my faith has been strengthened more than I could have imagined.
My faith that began as the faith of a little child has grown in leaps and bounds over the years. Each step has taken me closer to my Savior, and I am so grateful. Everything I do is based on my faith. I make choices based on the teachings of Jesus Christ, and do my best to live my life according to the principles He taught. I know that He lived on this earth a perfect life, but He does not expect me to be perfect during my time on this earth. He only expects me to improve and do the best I can. Circumstances change and sometimes my best today is not the same as it was yesterday. This is something that has been hard to remember. And yet, I know that as I do my best sometimes I make mistakes. It is almost expected of me ... for, through those mistakes I learn and grow. I become the person that my Savior knows I can become. And, I humble myself and bend myself to His will. I am grateful for my Savior, Jesus Christ. He has provided the way for me to return to live with my Heavenly Father. He has shown me how to get there. And, He continually lifts me up when I fall ... gives me a hug and tells me I will makes it.
That faith is the most important thing to me ... and I am so grateful for it in my life today.

Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls."--1 Peter 1:7-9
This post reminded me of that scripture. Thanks for reminding me. :)
