Day 30: Agency.
Today is the last day of November!! Which means this is my last thankful wall post. But not my last day of being thankful. hah. just thought I'd clarify.
I was thinking about things I was grateful for today and this is the thing that I decided I wanted to blog about.
Why? Because it's all encompassing. We have the power to choose what to do with our lives. To choose who to follow. The power to choose to be happy or otherwise. To choose what we do with our time. To choose our best friends. To choose to love. In my opinion, this is one of the greatest gifts given to mankind in our mortal existence. It's a big part of the plan of salvation.
We're on earth to be tested. And Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ want us to choose them. To choose "honor, glory, and dominion. And eternal victory." [to quote one of my choir songs.] However, they aren't going to force us. IT'S A CHOICE. And it's ours to make.
I'm so grateful for the gift of agency in my life. It allows me to be happy when the world gives me a thousand reasons to frown. I LOVE this gospel! it's true. It makes life worth living. It makes me smile :]
The Church is True!!
