"One of the evils of our time is taking for granted so many of the
things we enjoy. This was spoken of by the Lord: 'For what doth it
profit a man if a gift is bestowed upon him, and he receive not the
gift?' (D&C 88:33). The Apostle Paul described our day to Timothy when
he wrote that in the last days 'men shall be lovers of their own
selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents,
unthankful, unholy' (2 Tim. 3:2). These sins are fellow travelers, and
ingratitude makes one susceptible to all of them."

(James E. Faust, "Gratitude As a Saving Principle," Ensign, Dec. 1996,
2)

I got this in my email and thought "Oh how true!"

I was just wondering if any other single visiting teachers had any problems giving Aprils visiting teaching lesson or was it just me? I opted to let my married companion present the lesson to our sisters because I felt it would be two faced of me to be talking about marriage, when I have no intent on getting remarried any time soon.
