D&C 59:7- "Thou shalt thank the Lord thy God in all things."
How do you remember to show gratitude?
- Serving others- helps us get perspective on our own problems
- Sacrament- renew our covenants
- Remembering the Atonement: reminds us to forgive others as we've been forgiven
- On the way to work...make a mental list of all the things you're grateful for during the entire drive
- Prayer- start with the things you're grateful for before you ask Heavenly Father for things
- Keeping a gratitude journal- each day find 3-5 things you are grateful for
- Hymns- singing can express gratitude
- What else do you do to express gratitude?
Elder Hales has said, "Prayer is an essential part of conveying appreciation to our Heavenly Father. He awaits our expressions of gratefulness each morning and night in sincere, simple prayer from our hearts for our many blessings, gifts, and talents."
