I just finished watching conference and it seems that the things we need to hear always penetrate the heart. I got the sense that there was a warning to us when so many spoke about how we need to listen to our "live" prophets voice and that He speaks scripture to us when he talks. President Monson's talk on gratitude touched me. We do have so much to be grateful for and yet we so often see the lack in our lives instead of all the tender mercies that are extended to us. I have learned to see those tender mercies so quietly displayed in my life.
I loved the quotes he gave:
"To live with gratitude in our hearts is to touch heaven".
"It is a wise man who grieveth not for what he doth not have, but in who rejoiceth in what he doth have".
I began this year with a resolution to show more gratitude for the good things in my life. Conference was a wonderful reminder of that resolution. I was also struck by the admonition to slow down our lives and remember what is important to us. It is so hard to do sometimes. I feel like all I do is work, eat and sleep. I need to take a hard look at where I am and where I want to be. I can't wait to get the Ensign to review the wonderful talks.
This is the first I can remember that I had the air conditioner on during conference instead of the heater!!
