Should We Ever Want to Thank Him, What Would We Thank Him for?

   Should we ever want to thank Him, what would we thank our Father for?
 For being, for He created our spirits.
   For immortality, for we shall travel the heavens forever.
 For freedom to choose, for He gave us agency.
   For opportunity, for He allows us to pursue many a great endeavor.
For mortality, for He gave us the opportunity to come to earth.
  For death, for He gives us the opportunity to return to Him
For breath, for He gives us the air we breathe.
  For legs, for He gives us the ability to run, and chase the farthest sun.
For sun light, for He casts it in our sky
   For arms and hands and the ability to hold things and handle things and carry and grasp.
For water, for we cannot go a day without it, and find it free and all around.
  For food, for it is His providence that gives it.
For a beating heart, and a liver that works.
  For health.
For family.
  For the love of others and others to love.
For the chance to sin, that we can overcome sin.
  For the chance to repent.
For His Son's sacrifice, His atonement, His example.
  Should we ever want to thank Him, what would we thank our Father for?
For being and purpose and all that we are.
