Gratitude

Why, hello there!

If you're a new visitor to my blog, welcome!! If you're not new... welcome back! I'm so glad you've decided to check out what I have to say today. If you look to your right (I'd make a splendid tour guide, wouldn't I...?), you'll be able to quickly find some of my most popular posts, as well as several other super awesome little gadgets. One of them is labeled "Great Sites to Check Out." I highly recommend following those links and have fun exploring!

Now, I've shared a bit about different aspects of my beliefs and knowledge. Today, I'm going to talk about one more that I hope can be universally agreed upon: The importance of gratitude.

The Plan of Salvation

"Where did I come from?" "Why am I here?" "Where am I going?" Those are really awesome questions, and ones that I think pretty much all of us have had. Luckily for us, those seemingly unanswerable questions DO have answers... And we have access to them.

The Good Shepherd



I love this picture. One alternate title for the Savior is "the Good Shepherd" (John 10:11, Alma 5:38, etc.). Who can deny that this painting beautifully illustrates that title?

Jesus is holding the sheep gently in His arms, yet strongly and securely enough to ensure the sheep will not fall from His embrace. To me, He looks pleased that He has been reunited with this sheep. Even the sheep seems calm and content to be once more in the protection its Master's arms.
