Idea List: Count Your Blessings! Marissa D. Thompson (New Era, Oct. 1997)

Being grateful for what you have is a good idea. Here are some ideas to help you remember to be thankful this month—and the rest of the year.

• In your journal, make a list of things you’re thankful for.
• Memorize the words to a song about gratitude. Such as “Count Your Blessings” (Hymns, no. 241) and “Because I Have Been Given Much” (Hymns, no. 219)..
• During your scripture reading, highlight verses about giving thanks. Write your favorite gratitude scriptures and display them on your bedroom walls as a reminder to be thankful.
• Do small acts of service for others that will cause them to thank Heavenly Father for good friends.
• Make your personal prayers more sincere by taking time to think before you pray. During your evening prayers, reflect on the day’s events and thank your Heavenly Father for specific blessings.
