Thank You

"I say unto you, my brethren, that if you should render all the thanks and praise which your whole soul has power to possess, to that God who has created you, and has kept and preserved you, and has caused that ye should rejoice, and has granted that ye should live in peace one with another-- I say unto you that if ye should serve him who has created you from the beginning, and is preserving you from day to day, by lending you breath, that ye may live and move and do according to your own will, and even supporting you from one moment to another--I say, if ye should serve him with all your whole souls yet ye would be unprofitable servants. And behold, all that he requires of you is to keep his commandments; and he has promised you that if ye would keep his commandments he should prosper in the land; and he never doth vary from that which he hath said; therefore, if ye do keep his commandments he doth bless you and prosper you. and now, in the first place, he has created you, and granted unto you your lives, for which ye are indebted unto him. And secondly, he doth require that ye should do as he hath commanded you; for which if ye do, he doth immediately bless you; and therefore he hat paid you. And ye are still indebted unto him, and are, and will be, forever and ever; therefore, of what have ye to boast?" -Mosiah 2:20-24

My debts to Heavenly Father are so great. I cannot even begin to understand what has been sacrificed for me. and so on this day of thanks-giving I want to thank Him. I am such an unworthy vessel, so imperfect and yet He never seems to give up on me. How do you repay something like that? I think that is king Benjamin's point... you can't repay that. All you can ever hope to do is be a little bit more grateful for the love and the gift. God has given me everything I can say matters at all. Without Him nothing. So I pledge that in the coming months I will remember what was sacrificed and try to show by my actions and words my true gratitude for it all.
