Remy’s dad shows him the rat poison and the traps in the window of the store, and the conversation goes like this:ĭad: When all is said and done, we’re all we’ve got.

I’m reminded of a part from the movie Ratatouille in the conversation between Remy and his dad.
“I would not dwell upon your crimes, to harrow up your soul, if it were not for your good.” ( Alma 39:7) Speaking of the correction I received from the Lord through that book, that’s something else I am thankful for: chastisement from Him. But, nonetheless, the Lord has still used less direct means to reveal to my heart and mind some things about my future and my life that have been just as mind-blowing and spiritually transformative as what my wife has received, and I am truly thankful for His teaching me about those things. She has physically seen what it’s like on the other side of the veil. My wife has had experiences with visions. What God reveals to us is far more important than how He reveals it. This was a helpful reminder to me to not put more value on those more direct forms of revelation than the less direct forms. It is easy to almost covet the more dramatic forms of revelation, thinking that they validate our closeness to the Spirit and therefore our personal righteousness.” “…we must take care that we don’t assume that the more direct forms of revelation are of greater value and meaning to us. I was reading in Hearing the Voice of the Lord by Gerald Lund and on page 139, it says: Today I was taught in a gentle way by Heavenly Father about an area I need to improve on. Thoughts like this might seem to some like trying too hard, but isn’t that the point, to reach for God with such great force and constant effort that our faith and love for Him becomes so strong He cannot withhold His greatest blessings from us? The reminder to be thankful for everything in and of itself is a sign of His mercy to us. It might seem kind of weird with something that feels so common, like taking a bite of a donut or putting the car in park, to think “Thank you, God, that I am able to do this that Thou gave me the means to get this food and the body to eat it” or “I thank Thee that Thou blessed me with this car and inspired its inventors to include brakes and mechanisms that allow me to safely park and lock it so I have higher chances of it not being stolen, and have a ride back home to my family.” The Reminder to Be Thankful in All ThingsĮven seemingly mundane things like eating, showering, shopping - heck, even paying bills or dealing with bad traffic! - can be an act of thankful worship to God for making those activities possible in the first place. I was going to title it “All the Small Things,” but I included the six things in this gratitude list because of blessings we’ve had and extra good things the Lord has given us… So this one’s about being thankful for all the… things, period (see D&C 78:19).ġ. This article contains a list of things I’m thankful for not because of something that was taken from me, but because I have them at all. That is the mission of every teacher." As we try to emulate the Master Teacher in our efforts to instruct others - and with His divine help - then perhaps we, like the sons of Mosiah, will be able to teach "with power and authority of God" (Alma 17:3).This article is a follow-up to “ The Small Things Are Not Small.” "it is about helping those we teach to become converted disciples of Jesus Christ, meaning to become more like Him. "The goal of teaching is much more than just facilitating learning or even doing", the Callisters write. As gospel instruction as become more home centered in recent years, each Latter-day Saint truly is a teacher and has the opportunity to engage in the Lord's work of guiding His flock to lasting conversion. This book will benefit not only those who have Church callings as teachers but also parents and others who have opportunities to teach loved ones at home. The Callisters weave insights from their experiences as teachers and parents with words of counsel from prophets, both ancient and modern, to expound the many important facets of teaching - including becoming more in tune with the Spirit, focusing on the doctrine, developing practical teaching skills, and striving to edify and love those we teach. Callister help Latter-day Saints understand the great importance of teaching and inspire them to acquire a large measure of the Spirit and the skills needed to be effective instruments in the hands of the Lord. In our world of uncertainty and confusion, the need for inspired gospel teachers, both at church and in our homes, has never been greater.
