Thomas S. Monson - A grateful heart … comes through expressing gratitude to our Heavenly Father for His blessings and to those around us for all that they bring into our lives. www.lds.org/general-conference?lang=eng
"Sincerely giving thanks not only helps us recognize our blessings, but it also unlocks the doors of Heaven and helps us feel God's love." (President Thomas S. Monson. "The Divine Gift of Gratitude")
Is anyone else amazed by the impromptu sermon he gives at the start of this message? I love to watch this talk given in its original context. The choir did a gorgeous rendition of “Love One Another” that very clearly touched President Monson. The short message it inspired him to give showed much of his true character as a prophet and a minister of Christ. He knew what it meant to give of himself like Christ did. I rarely watch this video without crying a little. What a testament it is to Christ’s power in changing us unloving creatures to Giants of servants like President Monson.
How could this amazing talk have less than 800 views? Gratitude is such an important lesson for people to learn, especially now. Take this message to your heart and try your best to live it!
"When you walk with gratitude, you do not walk with arrogance, and conceit, and egotism, you walk with the spirit of thanksgiving, that is becoming to you, and will bless your lives." (President Gordon B. Hinckley, apud President Thomas S. Monson. "The Divine Gift of Gratitude")
