Gratitude

Just got a spiritual kick in the rear while preparing for a church lesson I'm teaching on Sunday. I'm paraphrasing Joseph Fielding Smith saying that we are required to be willing to sacrifice everything, including our very lives if The Lord asks it of us. And even if we did sacrifice all, it would still not be equal to the great blessings that we have because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I dwell too often on the things I feel I have been denied and forget that I have really been given everything.
