Thomas S. Monson Quotes

I think one of the most important things, that this album is for me, and this period in my life, is about gratitude. About recognizing all of the things, daily, that I'm grateful for, and there are many in my life. I'm just so blessed, and I try to carry that with me every day.

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.

Someone has said that "feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it."

We need to be more grateful. I think there is no true character without gratitude. It is one of the marks of a real strong character to have a feeling of thanksgiving and gratitude for blessings.

The grateful heart will always find opportunities to show its gratitude.

The more we express our gratitude to God for our blessings, the more he will bring to our mind other blessings. The more we are aware of to be grateful for, the happier we become.

Let the GRATEFUL HEART sweep through the day that it may recognize in every hour some sweet blessing.

Gratitude is a humble emotion. It expresses itself in a thousand ways, from a sincere thank you to friend or stranger, to the mute, up-reaching acknowledgment to God--not for the gifts of this day only, but for the day itself; not for what we believe will be ours in the future, but for the bounty of the past.

Gratitude, like faith, is a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it grows.

Be grateful, be grateful, be grateful.

For every moment of joy Every hour of fear For every winding road that brought me here For every breath, for every day of living This is my Thanksgiving

Be grateful more than anything in your life. If you have to put a priority on something, put a priority on what your thankful for and the people in your life that you're grateful for.

Gratitude can turn a meal into a feast.

Only he who gives thanks for the little things receives the big things.

When anything good happens to you in your day, give thanks. It doesn't matter how small it is, say thank you.

These are all good things that you are receiving from life.
