There are a few things that I feel like the Lord is constantly reminding me of. In may scripture study this week I was reminded of one of these things.
Alma 26:8
8 Blessed be the name of our God; let us sing to his praise, yea, let us give thanks to his holy name, for he doth work righteousness forever.
Gratitude. I think that it one of those virtues that we get to when we already have the other virtues, like charity and kindness. Its a harder virtue to obtain because it requires a lot more virtues to come before. Kind of like prerequisites to gratitude.
I really believe that when we have gratitude in our hearts we will be so much happier and be better able to see the hand of God in our lives. I personally can be more grateful in my prayers. Instead of constantly asking for things I should be constantly singing praises of thanks to my father in heaven, who has given me so much.
I love that when we are grateful we start to feel less in titled to blessing that we don't have because we see all of the blessings that we already have in our lives.
I hope that I can have a more grateful heart and remember the Lords mercy in all things.
