A Thankful Heart
Gratitude is a catalyst to all Christlike attributes! A thankful heart is the parent of all virtues.
Trusting God
True gratitude is an expression of hope and testimony.It comes from acknowledging that we do not always understand the trials of life but trusting that one day we will.

Developing Gratitude
Commandments are opportunities to exercise our agency and to receive blessings. Our loving Heavenly Father knows that choosing to develop a spirit of gratitude will bring us true joy and great happiness.
We can choose to be grateful, no matter what. This type of gratitude transcends whatever ishappening around us. It surpasses disappointment,discouragement, and despair. It blooms just as beautifully in the icy landscape of winter as it does in the pleasant warmth of summer. When we are grateful to God in our circumstances, we can experience gentle peace in the midst of tribulation.In grief, we can still lift up our hearts in praise. In pain,we can glory in Christ’s Atonement. In the cold of bitter sorrow, we can experience the closeness and warmth of heaven’s embrace.

Cheerfulness Through Gratitude
Sooner or later, I believe that all of us experience times when the very fabric of our world tears at the seams,leaving us feeling alone, frustrated, and adrift. It can happen to anyone. No one is immune. Nevertheless, I have learned that there is something that would take away the bitterness that may come into our lives. There is one thing we can do to make life sweeter, more joyful, even glorious. We can be grateful! Those who set aside the bottle of bitterness and lift instead the goblet of gratitude can find a purifying drink of healing, peace, and understanding.
