General Conference -- by Nathan
My favorite talk was by Thomas S. Monson. He talked about gratitude and thanking the Lord for things. He talked about having a good attitude and to not be selfish. One of the talks he said was about the 10 Lepers. He told them to walk to the temple. While they were walking they got healed and only one came back and gave thanks to the Lord. That teaching me to give thanks to the Lord and be grateful for what we have.

This was my favorite too!! It reminded me of a book I read about two sisters being held prisoner by the Germans. They read in the bible that we should give thanks for all things, even hard things. So, they prayed each night and gave thanks for the fleas that were biting them when they slept. The guards never came in their barracks, so they were able to have secret scripture study. Then, they found out that the reason the guards didn't come in was because the guards didn't want to catch the fleas. So, as hard as the fleas were to sleep with, the fleas were keeping them safe too!
ReplyDeleteAn attitude of gratitude is important. I'm glad you listened to conference too. I enjoyed it.
