The title of the talk was "Precious Gifts from God"
What gifts has God given me? What gifts mean the most to me?
How do I consider the Atonement a great (the greatest) gift?
The Atonement is what gives me hope. I can get into problems, difficulties, and troubles in many areas of my life, but the Atonement always give me reason for hope. Any broken window can be repaired just as if it had never broken.
Jesus Christ, through His Atonement, brings joy and peace and hope back when I drive it away. Those gifts that unlock spiritual power, or that are associated with spiritual power, are for me some of the greatest personal gifts.
Scripture is a great gift, and time to slowly consider the scriptures is a great gift.
Times when I am aligned with God so that I feel the Spirit strongly and unmistakeably are great gifts.
Times when I strive to be guided by the Spirit, and feel nudged to do so, are great gifts.
Times when I feel revelation, or promptings, or impressions, and strive to act on them, are great gifts.
Feeling inspired by beautiful music or art or experiences or uplifted by family time are great gifts.
For me, the greatest gifts involve my engaging with or experiencing the divine as an active participant, and not just a silent observer.
