We all have so much to be thankful for -- it's nice to have a day to focus on all of our blessings and give thanks.
On this day of Thanksgiving, I thought I would include a couple of quotes from apostles about giving thanks.
"When we give thanks in all things, we see hardships and adversities in the context of the purpose of life. We are sent here to be tested. There must be opposition in all things. We are meant to learn and grow through that opposition, through meeting our challenges, and through teaching others to do the same."
—Dallin H. Oaks, "Give Thanks in All Things"
"The most meaningful and spiritual prayers I have experienced contained many expressions of thanks and few, if any, requests. As I am blessed now to pray with apostles and prophets, I find among these modern-day leaders of the Savior’s Church the same characteristic that describes Captain Moroni in the Book of Mormon: these are men whose hearts swell with thanksgiving to God for the many privileges and blessings which He bestows upon His people (see Alma 48:12)."
—David A. Bednar, "Pray Always"
Let us remember to give thanks in all things. Happy Thanksgiving!
