Thank you to the Men 2 Nephi 1:21

I want to say Thank you!

Thank you for being virtuous! Every day we are surrounded by those who would turn our innocent words around to being dirty, indecent, or negative. We are surrounded by vulgarity that brings us down instead of lifting us up. I am grateful for those men who shun those unvirtuous things and allow me to feel safe and comfortable as I am in their presence.

Thank you for honoring the Priesthood which you hold! There is nothing that is a greater blessing than having honorable Priesthood friends and husband, someday or today.

Thank you for standing in holy places! I am so grateful for when I go on a date that it is to places that I would feel safe in. Places where I have consequences of good and not evil.

Thank you for being aware of entertainment!

Thank you for keeping the Sabbath Day Holy!

Thank you for Home Teaching!

Thank you for Serving!

Thank you for searching your scriptures!

Thank you for your meaningful prayers!

Thank you for your faith in Christ!

Thank you for following the example of Christ!

Elder Christoffersen said it best. "Good men sometimes make mistakes. A man of integrity will honestly face and correct his mistakes, and that is an example we can respect. Sometimes men try but fail. Not all worthy objectives are realized despite one’s honest and best efforts. True manhood is not always measured by the fruits of one’s labors but by the labors themselves—by one’s striving." Let us be Men, November 2006 Ensign pg. 46-48

Thank you for striving!

Thank you for being Men!
