A grateful heart, then, comes through expressing gratitude to our Heavenly Father for His blessings and to those around us for all that they bring into our lives. This requires conscious effort-at least until we have truly learned and cultivated an attitude of gratitude. Often we feel grateful and intend to express our thanks but forget to do so or just don't get around to it. Someone has said that "feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it."

My brothers and sisters, do we remember to give thanks for the blessings we receive? Sincerely giving thanks not only helps us recognize our blessings, but it also unlocks the doors of heaven and helps us feel God's love.

We do not find truth groveling through error.

Our Heavenly Father can appreciate our love for Him by how well we serve Him and how well we serve our fellowmen.

Choose your friends carefully, for you will tend to be like them and be found where they choose to go.

When God speaks and we obey, we will always be right.

Happiness comes from living the way the Lord wants you to live.
