Welcome to One Minute Scripter Study, a Come Follow Me podcast.

We are your host, Kristen Walker Smith and Kelly Black.

Hey friend, it's Kristen. Grab your scriptures and let's dive into Judges 8, verses 33 and 35.

The Children of Israel had a talent for forgetting things.

For example, quote, as soon as Gideon was dead, the children

of Israel turned again and went a hoaring after Balaam and made Bail Bareth their God. As soon as their

national hero, who had helped turn them back to God was gone, the Israelites started looking

for a different God. The scriptures also say, quote,

neither shewed they kindness to the house of Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had

shued unto Israel. The Israelites forgot God and forgot to be grateful for all that Gideon had done for them,

which makes me wonder, is there anyone whose kindness I have forgotten to be thankful for? Is there anyone who has been so good to me for so long that I have forgotten to be thankful for?

Is there anyone who has been so good to me for so long that I have started to take them for granted?

Today would be a great day to thank those who we may have forgotten to appreciate.

So the takeaway of the day in five words or less is, don't forget to be thankful.

Thanks so much for being here today

and for coming closer to Christ with me one minute at a time. Hey, parents, have you broached

the topic of Joseph Smith's plural marriages yet with your kids or race in the priesthood?

If you're feeling less than confident about what to say, you are going to love my unofficial

guides to tricky church history topics. It's a group of illustrated PDFs that you can display

on your dining table or refrigerator to help your kids understand the trickiest church history

topics in the simplest terms, the who, what, when, where, why, and how. The guides include topics such as Joseph Smith's polygamy, race in the priesthood,
