Blessings of Tithing

Elder Bednar's talk has been such a blessing this past while.  It is like it was given just for us.  I'm so grateful Heavenly Father is teaching us to be more resourceful, more creative, more content.  Sometimes I'd rather money just fall from the sky and solve all our problems, but not much character would be developed that way.  The Lord is helping us develop things that really matter.  It is hard to appreciate that sometimes, because I feel so pressured to have the things I feel we need temporally.  I'm grateful the Lord isn't near-sighted like us mortals.  I'm grateful He does what is best for us.  I pray I can trust Him fully and stop whining.  I came to earth to become like God and do His will, not to be pampered and given my every worldly whim.  I'm grateful He has reminded me of this.
