This post is part of the General Conference Odyssey. This week covers the Saturday afternoon session of the April 2007 conference.
I had forgotten what happened at this session, the rededication of the Salt Lake Tabernacle, so was pleasantly surprised to read the talks. Lots of reminiscing. I've chosen my favorite quote from Relief Society General President Bonnie Parkin's talk.
The kind of gratitude that receives even tribulations with thanksgiving requires a broken heart and a contrite spirit, humility to accept that which we cannot change, willingness to turn everything over to the Lord--even when we do not understand, thankfulness for hidden opportunities yet to be revealed. Then comes a sense of peace.
Yes, I understand that sort of gratitude.
