One of the most tender treasures that I am thankful for is the gift of repentance and forgiveness. I am grateful that I am able to ask those that I love for forgiveness for my shortcomings. I remember telling Hunter one time that I was really sorry (in advance) for all the mistakes that I was going to make with him as he was our oldest and we had never had a 17, 18, and/or 19 year old young man before. I am grateful that I am able to seek forgiveness for the things that I do wrong each and every day. I am humbled by the gift of the atonement and for the sacrifice made on my behalf and for those that I love. The knowledge of that gift is a comfort when I am feeling down - I remind myself that for no other reason other than the gift of repentance and forgiveness is a sure sign that my Heavenly Father love me. These gifts are among my most prized treasures as well.
