Gratitude

"The wellsprings of gratitude and love overflow within me.

Gratitude for exceptional, beloved parents who have given their five sons the priceless heritage of a righteous example; and to those four brothers, for their strength and testimony.

Gratitude to a beloved, cherished companion and wife and to our lovely children. Jeanene has ever been a model of pure testimony, love, and devotion; she is a tower of strength to me.

Gratitude to the precious youth that I know, especially those met in missionary service.

Among these I find some of my most cherished personal friends.

And gratitude to these brethren and to our beloved prophet, who I know is the mouthpiece of God to all His children on earth. I deeply love President Kimball."                                                                    Gratitude by Richard G. Scott April 1977 General Conference

Gratitude

I found these quotes changed my thought process. As I heard the words from our Prophet and Apostles I tried to find gratefulness in the difficulties that I face in my life. I especially liked President Eyring’s words about finding gratitude when we could find hurt and resentment. The quotes from gratitude helped remind me to have a constant prayer of thanks in my heart.
