For the past several days I have been reading some of the Facebook entries on Sheila's account from ward members and friends.  There have been some who have apparently been doing a sort of 12 days of Thanksgiving listing things that they are grateful for.  I have, myself, been considering that, so today is the ideal moment to list make mention of all the many things that I am grateful for.  But as I tend to do, I have been trying to figure out the top of the list thing.  Now that doesn't mean that I am not grateful for other things like family, friends, our nation, my work and our ward family.  I am, and I can say that I have grown tremendously in my old age in learning how to be more and more grateful.  But I have decided that for me I am most grateful for truth.  In coming to that selection I will mention what I have learned about rules about truth.  Not in any particular order:  "Truth isn't something that automatically appears in your mind and heart and is readily a part of you.  It does exist, but it has to be 1st found; 2nd accepted and 3rd lived.  Only then will it 'make you free' and affect you for good."  I also know that truth is so much of a responsible that it is given out carefully so as not to overburden one who is not ready to receive it, for once given 'much is required'.  I also know that truth in its fulness is found within the teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  And that is the truth!!
