I just got done studying once again...12:23AM....darn that Chemistry. So because of the hour instead of reading my scriptures from my marked place I flipped randomly to a couple of verses of scripture to read just before bed...and I turned to Doctrine and Covenants 88:32-33 which says:
32 And they who remain shall also be quickened; nevertheless, they shall return again to their own place, to enjoy that which they are willing to receive, because they were not willing to enjoy that which they might have received.
33 For what doth it profit a man if a gift is bestowed upon him, and he receive not the gift? Behold, he rejoices not in that which is given unto him, neither rejoices in him who is the giver of the gift.
This got me to thinking about the blessings I have received but have failed to recognize as blessings. What good are these blessings if I am not willing to receive them? I enjoy the blessings I am willing to receive...and the other blessing I do not choose to enjoy have gone to waste, and by rejecting those blessings I choose not to rejoice in I reject the giver who is my Heavenly Father. It is my choice weither or not I will acknowledge those gifts and blessings. I choose what blessings I am willing to receive.
Goal to work on: Gratitude.
Just an early morning thought.
