Be Grateful

In the December 2011 Ensign, President Henry B. Eyring talks about The Choice to Be Grateful.  He says that in order to better value our blessings, we must do two things.  First, we have to pray and ask for help to see our blessings amid our challenges.  Second, we have to help God bless others.  By offering service, we realize those things that we have to be grateful for.  This Christmas season is about gratitude, about being grateful for the greatest gifts we have been given through the Atonement of Christ.  We can best show our gratitude for anything by serving in return.  Mosiah 2:17 tells us that we serve God by serving others.  That's what Christmas is all about - serving God by serving others.
