Remember Him
“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you” (Matthew 5:43–44).”
“Today we might say that we are commanded to love our adversaries. All mortals are beloved children of God. As President David O. McKay taught, ‘There is no better way to manifest love for God than to show an unselfish love for one’s fellowmen.’”
President Dallin H. Oaks
Gratitude
“How our awareness would change if every morning we awoke with only the blessings we were grateful for the night before. Failure to appreciate our blessings can result in a sense of dissatisfaction, which can rob us of the joy and happiness that gratitude engenders.”
— Elder Gary B. Sabin, October 2023 general conference, “Hallmarks of Happiness”
“I feel so grateful for the word of God received through scriptures and words of latter-day prophets, for how much God reveals about Himself through these words, and for His amazing invitation to come unto Him.”

“Turn social media into your own personal gratitude journal. Post every day about what you are grateful for, who you are grateful for and why you are grateful,” he said. ”At the end of seven days, see if you feel happier and more at peace.”
President Russell M. Nelson, November 2020
“I am grateful for all the blessings I receive daily. As soon to be 85, I am especially blessed to still be fairly healthy, to be living with family, to have the time to study the Gospel each day, to be a member of the Church, to know that I am loved by the Father and his Son. To learn each day that the Gospel is true.”
Member of the Milwaukee North Stake
“Being grateful in times of distress does not mean that we are pleased with our circumstances. It does mean that through the eyes of faith we look beyond our present-day challenges.
“This is not a gratitude of the lips but of the soul. It is a gratitude that heals the heart and expands the mind.”
— Then-President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, April 2014 general conference, “Grateful in Any Circumstances”
