Gratitude is the foundation for other virtues
Elder James E. Faust, former counselor in the First Presidency has said, “A grateful heart is a beginning of greatness. It is an expression of humility. It is a foundation for the development of such virtues as prayer, faith, courage, contentment, happiness, love and well-being” (President James E. Faust, “Gratitude As A Saving Principle,” Ensign, Dec. 1996).
While Russ and Bekki rebuild their home, gratitude is shaping their character. They continue to look to the Savior, who brings “...beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified” (Isaiah 61:3)
