Gratitude for Peace and Contentment

"Without question, we need to be informed of the happenings of the
world. But modern communication brings into our homes a drowning cascade of the violence and misery of the worldwide human race. There comes a time when we need to find some peaceful spiritual renewal.

"I acknowledge with great gratitude the peace and contentment we can find for ourselves in the spiritual cocoons of our homes, our sacrament meetings, and our holy temples. In these peaceful environments, our souls are rested. We have the feeling of having come home."

James E. Faust, "Gratitude As a Saving Principle," Ensign, May 1990

Along these lines, I recently wrote an article for The Homemaking Cottage Deluxe Edition Entitled, "Connoisseurs of Lovely and Good Things"

Summary
"Knowing our world is filled with actions that are wrong and disturbing doesn’t mean we should dwell on them. There have been other times in the history of the world when disturbing incidences have occurred causing sensations around the people who were near enough to know of them."
