A Refreshing Perspective on Gratitude

This was the second and final day of general conference, and there were many wonderful messages given. One of those messages was given by Dieter F. Uchtdorf, a counselor to the president of the church, Thomas S. Monson. Uchtforf talked about gratitude and offered a neat perspective on it. You can watch the message with this link:

I have heard the phrase "attitude of gratitude" before, but it was neat to hear it this time because I thought of what I do on this blog. Each day, I make mention of something I am grateful for, and I can look at my page and count how many times I have done this. What Uchtdorf reminded me was the importance of incorporating gratitude throughout the day. I should remember to be grateful in every moment of my life and not just each night as I count my blessings here. This message also served as a reminder to me that I still don't know everything there is to know about gratitude or any other heavenly attribute. So each day, I will continue to try to be the best that I can be
