Russell M. Nelson said: “Sister Nelson and I enjoyed the beauty of tropical fish in a small private aquarium. Fish of vivid colors and of a variety of shapes and sizes darted back and forth. I asked the attendant near by, “Who provides food for these beautiful fish?”
She responded, ” I do.” Then I asked, “have they ever thanked you?”
She replied, “Not yet!”
I thought of some people I know who are just as oblivious to their Creator and their true “bread of life (John 6:35, 48). They live from day to day without an awareness of God and His goodness to them.
How much better it would be if all could be more aware of God’s providence and love and express that gratitude to Him. Ammon taught, “Let us give thanks to [God] for he doth work righteousness forever (Alma 26:8). Our degree of gratitude is a measure of our love for Him. (“Thanks Be to God,” Ensign,” May 2012)
