- I hope that we welcome and love of God's children, including those who might dress, look, speak, or just do things differently. It is not good to make others feel as though they are deficient. Let us lift those around us. Let us extend a welcoming hand. Let us bestow upon our brothers and sisters in the Church a special measure of humanity, compassion, and charity so that they feel, at long last, they have finally found a home.
- I am not suggesting that we accept sin or overlook evil, in our personal life or in the world. Nevertheless, in our zeal, we sometimes confuse sin with sinner, and we condemn too quickly and with too little compassion. We know from modern revelation that "the worth of souls is great in the sight of God." We cannot gauge the worth of another soul any more than we can measure the span of the universe. Every person we meet is a VIP to our Heavenly Father, Once we understand that, we can begin to understand how we should treat our fellowmen.
- "A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity."
- True love requires action. We can speak of love all day long--we can write notes or poems that proclaim it, sing songs that praise it, and preach sermons that encourage it--but until we manifest that love in actin, our words are nothing but "sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal."
Richard G. Scott -He Lives! All Glory to His Name!
- This Easter, as you remember the Resurrection and the price paid and the gift given through the Atonement, ponder what the scriptures teach of those sacred events. Your personal witness of their reality will be strengthened. They must be more than principles you memorize. They must be woven into the very fiber of your being as a powerful bulwark against the rising tide of abomination that infects our world.
- None of us can ever adequately appreciate in mortality the full beneficial consequences of the Atonement.
- The best way to make a permanent change for good is to make Jesus Christ your model and His teachings your guide for life.
Donald L. Hallstrom -Turn to the Lord
- "Hold on thy way;" giving up is not an option.
Cheryl C. Lant -That Our Children Might See the Face of the Savior
- "Seek the face of the Lord always, that in patience ye may possess your souls, and ye shall have eternal life."
Quentin L. Cook -We Follow Jesus Christ
- How we relate and interact with each other is a measure of our willingness to follow Jesus Christ.
- I invite each one of us individually to recognize that how we disagree is a real measure of who we are and whether we truly follow the Savior. It is appropriate to disagree, but it is not appropriate to be disagreeable. Violence and vandalism are not the answer to our disagreements. If we show love and respect even in adverse circumstances, we become more like Christ.
- No one is exempt from the storms of life.
- Seek the higher ground--the refuge and eternal protection of the temple.
Thomas S. Monson -He Is Risen!
- Man alone received intelligence--a brain, a mind, and a soul. Man alone, with these attributes, had the capacity for faith and hope, for inspiration and ambition.
- Who would persuasively argue that man--the noblest work of the Great Designer, with dominion over all living things, with a brain and a will, with a mind and a soul, with intelligence and divinity--should come to an end when the spirit forsakes its earthly temple?
- If a man die, he shall live again. We know, for we have the light of revealed truth.
Until you next see these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
-Sarnic Dirchi
