A Season of Thanks Giving

With it being Thanksgiving, I thought it would be appropriate to write about gratitude. This month for visiting teaching, we had to pick a talk from General Conference. My roommate and I chose President Monson's talk on gratitude. He tells us to remember all the good in the world instead of dwelling on the bad. This talk came up again with my visiting teachers as they taught me and also in relief society last sunday. Of course, everyone was thinking about Thanksgiving which influenced their choice to talk about this specific talk. However, it was interesting that the main points each person pointed out from the talk was almost exactly the same. The first point was what I said before about remembering and being grateful for all of the good in the world. The second point was a quote by President Joseph F. Smith which says, "a prayerful life is the key to possessing gratitude." Everyone focused on the fact that our gratitude for our Savior, Jesus Christ, is the most important. Without Him, we wouldn't have anything else to be grateful for. This Thanksgiving season, I'm going to focus on remembering all of the things I'm grateful for, especially the little things, and espeicially Jesus Christ.
