Thou shalt not

This sounds like a strange statement, but I am grateful for (#320) commandments. A lot of people look at them as restrictions, or bothersome reminders of values they don't necessarily support. I see them as a reason for great joy in my life. I know that following the commandments and made my life better and much easier. I am thankful for a God who knows that obedience to commandments makes us happy. Following the commandments and making them a strong factor in my life has made me really happy and fulfilled.
