Quote By Gordon B. Hickley
"Be grateful. How thankful we ought to be.
"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.
What a great season in the history of the world this is in which to be alive and in which to be young. "Sometimes I wish that I were as young as you are -- and then when I think of what I have been through I am glad I am not. But what a wonderful season to be alive. . . .
[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 kindlypeople.
Be grateful."
- Gordon B. Hinckley
I am not LDS but through blogging I have learned to love Gordon Hinckley and his wise words. We DO live in a great time!

Great Post Sondra. I like the way you put the pictures with the quote.
ReplyDeleteI know I am VERY grateful for my home, car, and lifes comforts in general, especially when compared to 100 years ago.
As always- your post made me count my blessings. You have really helped me get into the spirit of thanksgiving this year!
ReplyDeleteAnn Marie - No problem - you can use this idea.
ReplyDeleteScrappy Girl - I am glad you love Gordon B Hinckley too. He was an amazing man and prophet. I loved listening to him - it always uplifts me. When I am down - all I have to do is read some talk of his or a book of his and I am much better.
I have to admit that this month's theme of Gratitude has been very good for my well being. I am going to continue adding gratitude blogs - it does help me count my blessings! I don't believe there is anything better then having an attitude of gratitude in my life. It will be a good month to look back at to always lift my spirit.
