“The Savior desires to save us from our inadequacies as well as our sins. Inadequacy is not the same as being sinful; we have far more control over the choice to sin than we may have over our innate capacity . . . A sense of falling short or falling down is not only natural, but essential, to the mortal experience. Still, after all we can do, the Atonement can fill that which is empty, straighten our bent parts, and make strong that which is weak.” -Bruce C. Hafen

“As stewards of God we must be truly appreciative of the things we receive. One has said that ingratitude is a crime more despicable than revenge which is only returning evil for evil while ingratitude returns evil for good. You remember that of the ten lepers healed by Christ only one returned to give thanks. A beautiful legend tells the story of two angels that were sent forth throughout the land each given a basket one to gather up requests and the other thanksgivings. The angel of requests came back with her basket running over full. The angel of thanksgivings came back with her basket practically empty. So it is in life. It seems that all have requests to make but few of us think to return and give thanks.” -Heber Q. Hale

Wholesome and easy abundance is better than either extreme; better for our manhood that we have enough for daily comfort; enough for culture, for hospitality, for Christian charity. More than this may or may not be a blessing. Certainly it can be a blessing only by being accepted as a trust.” -Raymond Hitchcock
