I find it interesting, I began with President Oaks’ talk on opposition in all things, and then President Monson’s talk of gratitude. How closely these topics are is not a paradox it is a wonderful combined and coequal relationship that cannot be separated!

It is so pleasant to revisit President Monson's talks and to hear his voice. I'm so thankful for all the prophets the Lord blessed us with and His words spoken through them ❤

What an amazing Man. Such a beautiful and perfect sermon from a Prophet of God. A true Prophet in these last days, the Latter-Days. We are all living in the Latter-Days and shall have that mantle upon us for eternity. I hope we can all do our very best to live up to this awesome responsibility.

I was brought to tears almost immediately. How I loved president Monson and his wonderful humor. The lessons of gratitude have greatly lifted me up. This is such an important lesson to remember ❤

"When you walk with gratitude, you do not walk with arrogance, and conceit, and egotism, you walk with the spirit of thanksgiving, that is becoming to you, and will bless your lives."<br><br>(President Gordon B. Hinckley, apud President Thomas S. Monson. "The Divine Gift of Gratitude")

Is anyone else amazed by the impromptu sermon he gives at the start of this message? I love to watch this talk given in its original context. The choir did a gorgeous rendition of “Love One Another” that very clearly touched President Monson. The short message it inspired him to give showed much of his true character as a prophet and a minister of Christ. He knew what it meant to give of himself like Christ did. I rarely watch this video without crying a little. What a testament it is to Christ’s power in changing us unloving creatures to Giants of servants like President Monson.
