LDS Quote a Day on Facebook Rocks!
"Will prayers that do not demand much of your thought merit much attention from our Heavenly Father? When you find yourself getting into a routine with your prayers, step back and think. Meditate for a while on the things for which you really are grateful. Look for them. They don't have to be grand or glorious. Sometimes we should express our gratitude for the small and simple things like the scent of the rain, the taste of your favorite food, or the sound of a loved one's voice. Thinking of things we are grateful for is a healing balm. It helps us get outside ourselves. It changes our focus from our pains and our trials to the abundance of this beautiful world we live in."
--Joseph B. Wirthlin, "Improving Our Prayers," Liahona, Aug. 2004, 18

HI EDDIE! Sorry we never saw you when you were in Cali, Cory and I are moving in May to TENNESSEE... Crazy right? Looks like you guys are doing well!
That IS a really cool quote.
Yes, very true! We sometimes forget what is around us until we stop and look around.
Keep up with the wise quotes, we can all learn from it, whatever religion we practice!
Thank you for sharing that. I needed to read that today. :o)
