The
Harvest Season provides a great opportunity to take stock of all we have to be
grateful for. We can also focus on how we are showing the Lord our
gratitude. We are blessed with an
abundance of food and commodities in this day and age. Do we follow the prophet and store some up
against the storms that lie ahead? As
stewards over all the lord has blessed us with, the way we keep our stewardship
shows the Lord our gratitude. President Spencer W. Kimball said :“We encourage families to have on hand this
year’s supply; and we say it over and over and over and repeat over and over
the scripture of the Lord where He says, ’Why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not
the things which I say?’ How empty it is
as they put their spirituality, so called, into action and call him by his
important names, but fail to do the things which he says”. The way we use
what we have also shows our gratitude. The First Presidency in 1942 counseled: “The utmost care should be taken to see that
foodstuffs so produced and preserved by the householder, do not spoil, for that
would be waste, and the Lord looks with disfavor upon waste. He has blessed His people with abundant
crops...The Lord is doing His part; He expects us to do ours.” Let us follow the adage “Waste Not, Want Not”
and “Store what you eat, and eat what you store”. At this “thankful season” –
let us show an “Attitude of Gratitude” with our preparedness.
