Love = Gratitude

Today the Foxglen Park Presidency Lesson was about Gratitude.

We started out by writing down what we love and then discussed how we can substitute "What I love" for "What I am Grateful For".

These are some of the things the sisters in this ward Love / Are Grateful for

“O remember, remember,” Book of Mormon prophets often implored. ¹ My point is to urge you to find ways to recognize and remember God’s kindness.
