The truths “And in everything give thanks” (D&C 98:1) and “Thou shalt thank the Lord thy God in all things” (D&C 59:7) and “He who receiveth all things with thankfulness shall be made glorious” (D&C 78:19) are not only recommended tools of appreciation, but are powerful attitude guidelines prescribing rewarding patterns. Think of the personal challenge to thank God in all things. If we thank God in all things, we will not permit ourselves to get behind. We must work each day to beat yesterday’s record, not someone else’s. With His help we can accomplish all things and be winners indeed in the processes of eternity. — Marvin J. Ashton, “Who’s Losing?” Ensign (CR) November 1974
