Letter of Gratitude

Gratitude is powerful in lifting others and bringing out the best in them. People like to be noticed, especially for the good things they do. Your roommates are no different. Look for every opportunity to brighten their day with a little gratitude for who they are and what they do.

Gratitude is not only good for others, it is good for you, too. Elder James E. Faust taught that "gratitude is a saving principle."When you are grateful for others, they will often be grateful for you. You will also feel happier and closer to the Lord as you walk in gratitude every day.
