Alma is preaching in Gideon...this teacing stood out to me the most. Alma 7:23-24..."And now I would that ye should be humble, and be submissive adn gentle; easy to be entreated; full of patience and long-suffering; being temperate in all things; being diligent in keeping the commandments of God at all times; asking for whatsoever things ye stand in need, both spiritual and temporal; always returning thanks unto God for whatsoever things ye do receive. And see that ye have faith, hope, and charity, and then ye will always abound in good works."
How are you doing in being these things? I will spend my lifetime working on having these qualities...but I know that they are god-like qualities and as I work to make them apart of me I am happier and more fulfilled in my life. My challenge from this: to return "...thanks unto God for whatsoever things ye do receive..." Make a list of all the things you have received this week...both spiritual and temporal...I know my will be longer than I think it will. I have so much to be thankful for.
