More than ever, I feel keenly aware of my blessings, and they comfort me as I prepare for this big lifestyle-change.<br /><br />I really like reading your blog Elder Spendlove! I've read many of your posts and hopefully I'll be able to read some while I'm on my mission too.<br /><br />My five choicest blessings are:<br />* My <b>health and temporal possessions</b>; my father is a great provider, even though hardship has always been there we never wanted for food or medical treatment. <br />* <b>Miracles...and tribulations</b>, for both have given shape to my character.<br />* My <b>friends</b>, each of whom have influenced my life in one way or another.<br />* A large and <b>loving family</b> who support me and pray for me.<br />* My <b>testimony of Jesus Christ</b> and His Gospel. I agree with Elder Spendlove totally about that! Where would I be w/o the Gospel? Probably in a ditch, 6 feet deep, or maybe in a rehab center recovering from some drug addiction. I have no illusions about why I am the person I am; my faith in God has reformed every part of my life...and I love it! :DErik S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10302508254213970670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20899615351550578.post-36516424206389734452010-12-09T06:59:26.995-08:002010-12-09T06:59:26.995-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Erik S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10302508254213970670noreply@blogger.com
