“How Different”
Some murmur when the sky is clear
And wholly bright to view,
If one small speck of dark appear
In their great heaven of blue:
And some with thankful love are filled,
If but one streak of light,
One ray of God’s good mercy, gild
The darkness of their night.
(Richard Chenevix Trench, in Soumrcebook of Poetry, Grand Rapids, Mich.: Zondervan Publishing House, 1968, p. 396.)
“Thou shalt thank the Lord thy God in all things” (D&C 59:7)
...ask yourself, “How did God bless me today?” If you do that long enough and with faith, you will find yourself remembering blessings. And sometimes, you will have gifts brought to your mind which you failed to notice during the day, but which you will then know were a touch of God’s hand in your life.
