Just the other morning, I thought, ‘I have been asking for so much. This morning I am not going to ask for one thing. I’m just going to be grateful.’ I knelt and thanked the Lord for my good health, for my understanding husband, for our children, for our missionary son, for the privilege of serving, for the board members and staff who assist me, for stake and ward members throughout the world who are serving, and especially for the teachers who give and care so much. I thanked him for the children everywhere. I thanked him for the prophet. And the list went on. My spirit soared. What an astounding experience to know that I have so much! It takes a grateful heart to experience that soaring, that realization of how much Heavenly Father loves you, how much he does for you. – Dwan J. Young, “Draw Near to Him in Prayer,” Ensign (CR), November 1985, p.91
