Be Happy Challenge #7

Keep a gratitude journal; at the end of every day this week write down three things you are grateful to have been blessed with that day.

Sometimes life is hard and it seems like we can't see the blessings that are being given to us. Sometimes we can feel like Heaven is closed off and silent. Sometimes we pray but we don't think we receive an answer.  Sometimes things that our out of our control happen and send us off in a direction we don't understand. Sometimes life is just hard. 

Even when all of the sometimes happen in our lives, even when we are lost and feel as though we are alone, our Heavenly Father is there. He is always by your side. He is always waiting to bless you. 

This week is a week where we will try to see the blessings despite the distractions of the world. This week is a week where we will try to see the light when all we feel is darkness. 

Remember that Heavenly Father loves and knows each one of us and He is continually blessing us.

Be grateful and be happy!

Be Happy Challenge #6

First of all Happy Easter!

Today is a day when we focus on the Savior and on the resurrection. This is a time when the atonement is close to our hearts and ever-present in our minds. Please as you go through the Be Happy Challenge for this week, remember that the gospel is centered on Jesus Christ, He is the only way we can gain eternal life. He lived, He died, and He was resurrected all for us.

The Be Happy Challenge for this week is:

Select a gospel principle/topic to study this week (i.e. faith, prayer, charity, humility); as you study, pray to be lead to understand and share your knowledge with another.

In thinking about Be Happy Challenge #6, it's really about putting the little things into practice. There have been Be Happy Challenges in the past that have asked us to focus on prayer and scripture study, and this one combines the two and really asks us to put them into action.

As you go through this challenge, remember that sometimes it is our time and opportunity to learn, and other times it is our time and opportunity to teach.

Be happy and be lead to gain knowledge!
