Pebble in my Shoe -
Sometimes we cannot recognize our sweet blessings because we are dwelling on the "pebble in our shoe"
The best object lesson I have ever heard on gratitude (especially for what the Savior has done for us) is that being ungrateful for the Savior's sacrifice or refusing to accept the love of the Savior or his forgiveness in our lives is like if you spent months choosing the perfect birthday gift for person you love the most. You had sold everything you owned to purchase this special gift. Then, when it came time to give the gift, which you had wrapped in the most costly and beautiful wrapping you could find, the receiver simply looked at your package and said, "no thanks" without even opening it. The thought of how that would feel reminds me everyday to thank my Heavenly Father for the sacrifice of the Savior and recognize His hand in all the blessing I receive in this life and the blessings I will receive in the life to come.

Gratitude Sharing Time from Christy's Clipart
I am thankful for all that Heavenly Father has given me 
I took along some of my baby sons alphabet blocks so they children could draw them out of a box.  I introduced the sharing time and told them we were going to build a tower and see if we could get a really high tower to show how many wonderful blessings they had.  I used our 'Uno Stacker Blocks/Jenga' and so with each guess at a blessing they got to add a block to our blessing tower.  So we went round and they took turns picking a letter and guessing at a blessing, if they got stuck then we helped them out. (Idea by Rachel Selway)
I will show my gratitude and love for Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ by keeping their commandments
