Come What May and Love It

I'm grateful for this quote by Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin: "Come What May and Love It." In order to really do this though, it takes faith in the atonement of Jesus Christ---so when the hard moments come no matter how big or how small, we can learn to love it, if we have the right eternal perspective.

Here is the link to his entire talk: http://lds.org/general-conference/2008/10/come-what-may-and-love-it?lang=eng

"Mercies and blessings come in different forms--sometimes as hard things. Yet the Lord said, 'Thou shalt thank the Lord thy God in all things' (D&C 59:7). All things means just that: good things, difficult things--not just some things. He has commanded us to be grateful because He knows being grateful will make us happy. This is another evidence of His love."
-Bonnie D. Parkin

"We can lift ourselves and others as well when we refuse to remain in the realm of negative thought and cultivate within our hearts an attitude of gratitude. If ingratitude be numbered among the serious sins, then gratitude takes its place among the noblest of virtues. Someone has said that “gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others."
-Thomas S. Monson

...live in thanksgiving daily, for the many mercies and blessings which he [God] doth bestow upon you.
Alma 34:38

Are you ever burdened with a load of care? Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear? Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly, And you will keep singing as the days go by.

"The things we gripe and complain about won't go with us to eternity, but they are what could keep us from eternity." -Dad
