“The thankful heart opens our eyes to a multitude of blessings that continually surround us.” – James E. Faust (1823–1910)

James E. Faust (1920–2007) was an American religious leader and attorney who served as a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Born in Delta, Utah, Faust earned a law degree and had a successful legal career before dedicating his life to religious service. Known for his wisdom and compassion, he became a beloved figure in the LDS Church, leaving a lasting legacy of faith, humility, and teachings on gratitude.
