President Russell M. Nelson on the Healing Power of Gratitude​

Thinking to thank God brings us all these things, draws us closer to those we love, and makes us more like the Savior.

Think to Thank

Moments That Matter Most

Do material possessions make us happy and grateful? Perhaps momentarily. However, those things which provide deep and lasting happiness and gratitude are the things which money cannot buy: our families, the gospel, good friends, our health.
