Say thank you to your teachers... Thank the Lord for His goodness to you.. Pour out your heart to your Father in Heaven in gratitude for the gift of His Beloved Son. Thank the Lord for His marvelous Church restored in this great season of history. Thank Him for all that it offers you. Thank Him for friends and loved ones, for parents and brothers and sisters, for family. Let a spirit of thanksgiving guide and bless your days and nights." -Gordon B. Hinckley (New Era, Jan 2001, 4)
