“He who receiveth all things with thankfulness shall be made glorious” (D&C 78:19).
"The Lord wants you to have a spirit of gratitude in all you do and say. Live with a spirit of thanksgiving and you will have greater happiness and satisfaction in life. Even in your most difficult times, you can find much to be grateful for. Doing so will strengthen and bless you.
"In your prayers, before you ask for blessings, pour out your heart to God in thanks for the blessings you have already received. Thank Him for your family, for friends and loved ones, for leaders and teachers, for the gospel, and for His Son, Jesus Christ.
"You can also express gratitude to the Lord by the way you live. When you keep His commandments and serve others, you show that you love Him and are grateful to Him. Express appreciation to everyone who helps you in any way."
- For The Strength of Youth Pamphlet pg 6
Have the Best Day!

This is random and has nothing to do with your post (which, by the way, I really needed to hear this morning--thanks!), but my brother Noah (the really ridiculously tall one) has decided to be the Tooth Fairy for Halloween this year, as inspired by Jeremy. Thank you for bringing joy and hilarity into my life! :)
I loved your post today. It reminds me when we were in the singles ward and we were sitting in relief society and the relief society president.. I can't remember her name, she was blond. She said she would sometimes try to just thank Heavenly Father in her prayer instead of asking for anything. I thought that was really awesome and have tried it a few times. It was difficult at first, but eventually you realize all the things you need to be thankful for and it makes you more aware of all the blessings you're given.
