Just a Thought . . . .

Sacrament Meeting 

We enjoyed wonderful Speakers today speaking on Gratitude and Charity. 
We learned to recognize our blessings through our trials. We learned that it is scientific proof that those who are grateful and recognize their blessings are the happiest. 
And we learned that one of the greatest forms of
 Charity is not to judge another

But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him.
Moroni 7:47
