Happy Thanksgiving Day!
Happy Thanksgiving!
It is important that we always remember to be grateful for all the blessings our Heavenly Father has given us. Take some time today to think of all that you have been blessed with and share some of those thoughts with friends and family.
For myself, I am grateful for so many things. I'm thankful that I found the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and joined it. I am thankful for all those blessings connected with the Church--the priesthood, temples, scriptures, prophets, and so forth. I am especially grateful for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and all that He has done for us. I'm grateful for the gift of the Holy Ghost and for our Heavenly Father and His love and concern for each of us. There are so many blessings associated with the gospel that I cannot name them all.
I am also thankful for family and friends, for having a job that I like, for having books to read, for having food and clothing and shelter. Again, there are so many blessings that I cannot name them all.
I hope that we will always be a grateful and appreciative people. May you have a happy and blessed Thanksgiving Day!

TF, thanks for stopping by here and for the Thanksgiving wishes. I did have a great time at our family gathering. We even had turducken and it was yummy!
Here’s a million dollar question – If you were to die right now, would you qualify for the celestial kingdom? If you’re like most Mormons, you’re not sure. You try hard to be as good as possible, but you still don’t know if you’ve done enough. If the Book of Mormon is really scripture, this hope will always elude you. Alma 11:37 says God cannot save you in your sins. Are all of your sins forgiven? Moroni 10:32 says you must be perfected in Christ, which can only be done by denying yourself of “all ungodliness”. Have you done that? Do you repent on a regular basis? Is so, then it is clear that you sin on a regular basis, since only those who break the commandments need to repent. 1 Nephi 3:7 states that you are able to keep His commandments. In fact according to D&C 25:15, you are required to keep them continually! Since you haven’t done this so far, why assume you will in the future? Of course, we should all try to be holy; but if you think that sinning less will qualify you to live in God’s presence, you are mistaken (Gal 3:1-11). The assumption that good works are required for forgiveness only cheapens Christ’s atonement, making it nothing more than a partial payment. God chooses to justify us by faith. Jesus alone does the “perfecting” (Heb 10:14). God gives peace to those who trust in Him alone. If you don’t have this peace, it’s probably because at least a part of you trusts in yourself.
