Marvin
J. Ashton:
Taken at random, let me mention a few gifts
that are not always evident or noteworthy but that are very important.
“...the gift of asking; the gift of
listening; the gift of hearing and using a still, small voice; the gift of
being able to weep; the gift of avoiding contention; the gift of being
agreeable; the gift of avoiding vain repetition; the gift of seeking that which
is righteous; the gift of not passing judgment; the gift of looking to God for
guidance; the gift of being a disciple; the gift of caring for others; the gift
of being able to ponder; the gift of offering prayer; the gift of bearing a
mighty testimony; and the gift of receiving the Holy Ghost” (Marvin J. Ashton, There Are Many Gifts, Ensign, Nov
1987, 20).
