19 And he who receiveth all things with thankfulness shall be made glorious; and the things of this earth shall be added unto him, even an hundred fold, yea, more.
Sonnet 809 D&C 78:19
We sing about the blessings we should count
Of listing our good fortunes one by one
Of how rewards in heaven will surmount
Afflictions and the insults to us done.
And gratitude remembered for the good
Is solace to the victims of real pain
But thinking that a list of blessings could
Remove real troubles is a hope in vain.
The way to overcome a load of care
Is rather to accept it as a gift
Receive in thankfulness all things you bear
Not just the things that give an easy lift.
When everything you get, you're thankful for
The ROI's * a hundred fold or more
*Return on Investment
