JUST IN TIME FOR THANKSGIVING:
OTHER THINGS LDS PEOPLE ARE GRATEFUL FOR:
(By Bettyanne Bruin)
Like everyone else, LDS people are grateful for such things as the family, prayer, the scriptures, plus the Gospel, temples, a prophet and many more things that enrich our lives continually. But, many times, we, too, forget to be grateful for the other things that make our life wonderful, like:
Sugar
Ward directories
A clock in the chapel
Easels that work
Illnesses that are minor, but sufficient enough to cancel teaching a class.
General Conference Sundays (Where laying on a couch eating munchies while attending church is acceptable.)
Padded pews
Mega-sized vacuum cleaners to vacuum those huge cultural halls.
Church dumpsters
The day after Young Women’s or Scout camp.
Knowing the Bishop is human too
Babies (or children) who are more disruptive than one’s own
That there is a space provided directly behind the pulpit, large enough for a fainting person to fall between, should something unforeseen happen.
Short church talks
Delicious treats
Short prayers
Hymn books within reach of the seat you're sitting in
Disposable casserole dishes
Have a fantastic and a very Happy Thanksgiving, and enjoy all the fruits (meat, vegetables and desserts) this wonderful Gospel provides!
