Grateful For Bacon

Gratitude to the mind is what bacon is to the body. Everybody loves a good strip of bacon with their breakfast (and lunch and dinner). We all know it can add some delicious flavor to any meal and let's be honest, we always crave some good bacon. 

But really. Bacon is just the same as gratitude. We all feel better when we are grateful ( and when we add bacon to a meal) and we (at least me) think about how grateful we are all the time. But if we expressed gratitude every time we thought about it, I believe the world would be a much happier place, just like our taste buds (not our arteries though) would be a lot happier if we ate bacon more often.

This past week I've been doing a gratitude challenge. I've done certain things each day to remind me of who, and what I am grateful for. It's made me come to realize just how much in our lives there is to be thankful for. Like bacon. 

My favorite day of the challenge was when I had to pick two people (and only two) who have made an impact in my life and tell them why. That was hard! I picked the first two people that came to mind, but really I wanted to send a little note to all of you. As I thought of all the people in my mind who have helped me along this earthly journey, I was awestruck. I am so amazed with how much people are an influence in our lives! 

There is so so so much in our live to be grateful for, and if we are thanking all the people in our lives that have blessed us, then we absolutely have to thank the one who has given us more than anything. And can I just say, gratitude prayers are the best. God has given us SO MUCH, so how can we not thank Him for everything! My testimony has been strengthened this week, because GOD IS SO VERY GOOD. He is amazing! He blesses us with so dang freaking much! Believe it or not, He is better than bacon (after all, bacon doesn't posses the infinite amount of love Heavenly Father has for us)! 

That being said, THANK YOU! Each one of you reading this has touched my life somehow, I promise! When you feel gratitude, don't let it go unnoticed. Speak up, change someone's day, love more.
