“Truly
I have been blessed far beyond that which I merit. And in the coming
days, I pray only that I might always be found as Abraham Lincoln
said: ‘Die when I may, I would like it said of me by those who knew me
best, that I always plucked a thistle, and planted a rose where I
thought a rose would grow.’ I have learned in my life that trials are
blessings in disguise if we accept them with humility, faith, and
fortitude. All that we suffer and endure with patience will build
within us a more charitable and tender person, having acquired the
education we came on earth to receive.” - Lloyd
P. George, “Gratitude,”

Brothers and
sisters, we were in that council in heaven when this plan was
introduced, and we were happy for the privilege, and opportunity, and
blessing of coming to earth to receive bodies, which would permit us
to have experiences for good or for evil. My brothers and sisters, how
grateful we are to have had part in this plan of redemption, rather
than to feel as Paul told the Corinthians, “If in this life only we
have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable” (1
Cor. 15:19). Are we willing to give thanks for blessings and
knowledge received? - Lloyd P. George, "Gratitude,"
Ensign (CR) May 1994
