Abound in Good Works
In Alma 7:22-24, Alma2 taught the people in Gideon to:
- Remember your Duty to God
- Walk blameless before God
- Be humble
- Be submissive and gentle
- Be easy to be entreated (taught)
- Be patient and long-suffering
- Be temperate in all things
- Be diligent in keeping the commandments of God
- Pray for spiritual and temporal things
- Exercise faith-hope-charity
- Returning thanks unto God for whatsoever things you do receive
As we sincerely strive to live by these principles, may we pray mightily for strength and desire to succeed at it. As we pray, return thanks to Heavenly Father for the things that He actually does bless us with. Remember that Thanksgiving Day is everyday and act accordingly.
