Brother Huntington spoke for the devotional today. His talk was on "A Heart of Gratitude." One of the things that he said really stood out to me. You can choose to cultivate a garden of things you have or don't have, but if you choose to cultivate your secret garden of what you have the "evasive" garden will disappear from your life. (Or something to that affect). I loved that. He also challenged us to do 5 things.
1. Keep a gratitude journal
2. Add "thank you" to your vocabulary more often
3 Write thank you notes
4. Live in the present moment (to be able to see small things to be grateful for)
5. Make your prayers more thoughtful
I loved each of these things. I want to be a more grateful person and develop "chronic gratitude." I loved that this message was able to be broadcasted through media to more than the audience of BYU (it will be re-broadcast on Sunday). I think this message will help many people who struggle in the world today who need a different perspective of the world.
