Gratitude

I came across this paragrah today in a talk by president Monson entitled Standards of strength. I really needed to hear it.

Precious young people, make every decision you contemplate pass this test: What does it do to me? What does it do for me? And let your code of conduct emphasize not “What will others think?” but rather “What will I think of myself?” Be influenced by that still, small voice. Remember that one with authority placed his hands on your head at the time of your confirmation and said, “Receive the Holy Ghost.” Open your hearts, even your very souls, to the sound of that special voice that testifies of truth. As the prophet Isaiah promised, “Thine ears shall hear a word … saying, This is the way, walk ye in it” (Isaiah 30:21).

Everyone seems to be sharing what they are grateful for lately...I guess the Gospel is what I am most grateful for. It provides me with everything I need to be happy. Most importantly the opportunity to be with my family forever.
