Last summer, I was on a roll with posting a Thankful Thursday post each week. I'm not sure what happened, but they suddenly stopped in mid-July. I even had a post in draft that I never finished.
It was simply a link to a friend's post with a quotation from President Hinckley about gratitude. I still think it's a great quotation!
"Be grateful. How thankful we ought to be. How comfortably we live. How very easy is life compared to what it once was. . . . We have it so easy, so pleasant, so delightful. We ride in cars that are warm in the winter and cool in the summer. . . . [We have] the miracles of medicine, the miracles of science, the miracles of communication, transportation, education---what a wonderful time in which to live. Of all of these wondrous, challenging things with which we live, I hope you regard it a blessing to be alive in this great age of the world. . . . I hope you walk with gratitude in your hearts, really. Grateful people are respectful people. Grateful people are courteous people. Grateful people are kindly people."
I am grateful for so many things in my life - especially to be living in a time with so many creature comforts!
I love the quote today. Thanks for sharing it!

ReplyDeleteMy 10 y/o daughter just experienced an over-night trip on the Oregon Trail. They had the kids live as close the pioneer experience as possible. She understands how lucky we ALL are now! :->
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you all appreciated the quotation so much!
