Thoughts

I heard a great talk at church today and thought I'd share some things I really liked.  The topic was gratitude which of course I need to show more of.   Our High Councilman started talking about how in the church we hear that "Charity never faileth" and as a people we think than never failing would mean succeeding because that is the modern meaning for the words.  So with that in mind we could say Charity succeeds.  He then quoted a couple scriptures which put a different light on the word fail.  In each scripture fail meant run out.  So with that in mind if you put them together it means, Charity never runs out.  I like that a lot. 

He then went on to talk about how temporal things have limits.  You can enjoy one car and having 2 cars but you couldn't really enjoy 15 cars.  That's how it is with worldly things.  If you get too much, you can't/don't enjoy it.  Spiritual things, however, do not work that way.  You can never have too much love and you can never run out of love.

Also, Gratitude is something within.  It is a spiritual gift from God.  I haven't thought too much about it being a gift but it really is.  The world has a pessimistic tone in general and it is very easy to join the pessimism but to have a thankful heart and recognize it is really a gift.  To be able to look at life and love it for what it is and all of the wonderful experiences we are able to have while here really is a gift from God.  Life really is great and I have so much to be thankful for!!!!
