- Personal revelation is the way we know for ourselves the most important truths of our existence.
- Prayer provides a firm foundation for personal revelation.
- Revelation comes on the Lord's timetable, which often means we must move forward in faith, even though we haven't received all the answers we desire.
- We may receive personal revelation more frequently than we realize.
- Our responsibility is to seek personal revelations for ourselves and for the responsibilities the Lord has given us.
- Faith is the key.
- By design, most miracles are spiritual demonstrations of God's power--tender mercies gently bestowed through impressions, ideas, feelings of assurance, solutions to problems, strength to meet challenges, and comfort to bear disappointments and sorrow.
- Sincere prayer is answered 'sometime, somewhere.'
- The answer may be "Not now--be patient and wait."
Richard G. Scott -Truth: The Foundation of Correct Decisions
- Truth is the only meaningful foundation upon which we can make wise decisions.
- A knowledge of truth is of little value unless we apply it in making correct decisions.
- Your exercise of faith builds character. Fortified character expands your capacity to exercise greater faith. Thus, your confidence in making correct decisions is enhanced
Daniel K. Judd -Nourished by the Good Word of God
- We must get our teachers to speak out of their hearts rather than out of their books, to communicate their love for the Lord and this precious work, and somehow it will catch fire in the hearts of those they teach.
Octaviano Tenorio -The Power of Godliness Is Manifested in the Temples of God
- Therefore, in the ordinances thereof, the power of godliness is manifest.
Claudio D. Zivic -After All We Can Do
- I choose not to be an ordinary man; it is my right to be someone out of the ordinary if I am able.
- To be someone out of the ordinary means to be successful, unique, and outstanding.
Douglas L. Callister -Knowing That We Know
- None can permanently endure on borrowed light.
- The moment of testimony realization--when you know that you know--is sweet and sublime.
- If you want to know what you know that you know, a price must be paid. And you alone must pay that price.
Steven E. Snow -Service
- We demonstrate our love when we help and serve each other.
- No man can be a true Latter-day Saint who is unneighborly, who does not reach out to assist and help others. It is inherent in the very nature of the gospel that we do so. My brothers and sisters, we cannot live unto ourselves.
- Service is to be given as needed, not when convenient.
- Opportunities to serve may not always seem obvious, as it is human nature to worry about our own wants and needs.
- It is better to do even things of little consequence than to do nothing at all.
- None of us should become so busy in our formal Church assignments that there is no room left for quiet Christian service to our neighbors.
- The public service we render is the rent we pay for our place on earth.
Dallin H. Oaks -Good, Better, Best
- We should recognize the reality that just because something is good is not a sufficient reason for doing it.
- The number of good things we can do far exceeds the time available to accomplish them.
- Some things are better than good, and these are the things that should command priority attention in our lives.
- As we consider various choices, we should remember that it is not enough that something is good. Other choices are better, and still others are best. Even though a particular choice is more costly, its far greater value may make it the best choice of all.
- Work at our responsibility as parents as if everything in life counted on it, because in fact everything in life does count on it.
Gordon B. Hinckley -Closing Remarks
- Let no tragedy mar the experience we have enjoyed.
General Relief Society Meeting
Julie B. Beck -What Latter-day Saint Women Do Best: Stand Strong and Immovable
- It is so tremendously important that the women of the Church stand strong and immovable for that which is correct and proper under the plan of the Lord.
- In order to do our part as women under the Lord's plan, we must stand strong and immovable in faith, strong and immovable in family, and strong and immovable in relief.
- Women find true happiness when they understand and delight in their unique role within the plan of salvation.
- Families mean work, but they are our great work--and we are not afraid of work.
Silvia H. Allred -Feed My Sheep
- No matter what our individual circumstances are, we all have the opportunity to edify and nurture others.
Barbara Thompson -I Will Strengthen Thee; I Will Help Thee
- Satan is delighted when we give in--even just a little.
- In a stable family, loving parents teach by example and don't just tell their children to do something. They do it with them and show them how things are done.
- Children are generally very accepting of their parents and the mistakes parents make. They often forgive, forget, and move on much more quickly than adults do. Don't feel guilty. Apologize when you have made a mistake. Seek the child's forgiveness. Change your ways and move on.
- Removing yourself from the room for a minute in order to regain control is often very helpful.
- Whosoever shall put their trust in God shall be supported in their trials, and their troubles, and their afflictions, and shall be lifted up at the last day.
Thomas S. Monson -Three Goals to Guide You
- Your influence ranges far beyond yourself and your home and touches others all around the globe.
- The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world.
- Hold fast to our standards despite the derision of the world.
- You never know what kind of influence you'll be until a child observes you doing yourself what you have tried to teach him to do.
- Do not pray for tasks equal to your abilities, but pray for abilities equal to your tasks. Then the performance of your tasks will be no miracle, but you will be the miracle.
Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
-Sarnic Dirchi
