- We are blessed to have the truth. We have a mandate to share the truth. Let us live the truth, that we might merit all that the Father has for us.
Russell M. Nelson -Joy and Spiritual Survival
- Men are, that they might have joy.
- Saints can be happy under every circumstance. We can feel joy even while having a bad day, a bad week, or even a bad year!
- The joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives.
- Joy is powerful, and focusing on joy brings God's power into our lives.
Peter F. Meurs -The Sacrament Can Help Us Become Holy
- Prelude music, reverently played, is nourishment for the spirit. It invites inspiration.
- Music elevates our thoughts and feelings.
- The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, [and] temperance.
Linda S. Reeves
- When we have sinned, Satan often tries to convince us that the unselfish thing to do is to protect others from the devastation of the knowledge of our sins.
- The truth, however, is that the unselfish and Christlike thing to do is to confess and repent.
- However late you think you are, however many chances you think you have missed, however many mistakes you feel you have made, or however far from home and family and God you feel you have traveled, I testify that you have not traveled beyond the reach of divine love. It is not possible for you to sink lower than the infinite light of Christ's Atonement shines.
M. Russell Ballard -To Whom Shall We Go?
- Our precious relationships with families, friends, the Lord, and His restored Church are among the things that matter most in life. Because these relationships are so important, they should be cherished, protected, and nurtured.
- Focus on what you do believe and know.
- Never abandon the great truths revealed through the Prophet Joseph Smith. Never stop reading, pondering, and applying the doctrine of Christ contained in the Book of Mormon.
- We should not assume ... that just because something is unexplainable by us it is unexplainable.
- Life can be like hikers ascending a steep and arduous trail. It is a natural and normal thing to occasionally pause on the path to catch our breath, to recalculate our bearings, and to reconsider our pace. Not everyone needs to pause on the path, but there is nothing wrong with doing so when your circumstances require.
- Sometimes we can learn, study, and know, and sometimes we have to believe, trust, and hope.
- I don't pretend to know why faith to believe comes easier for some than for others. I'm just so grateful to know that the answers are always there, and if we seek them--really seek with real intent and with full purpose of a prayerful heart--we will eventually find the answers to our questions as we continue on the gospel path.
- We must never neglect any of our brothers and sisters. We are all at different places on the path, and we need to minister to one another accordingly.
- Please know that even though great storms of wind and waves beat upon the old ship, the Savior is on board and is able to rebuke the storm with His command "Peace, be still." Until then, we must not fear, and we must have unwavering faith and know that "even the wind and the sea obey him."
Dean M. Davies -The Blessings of Worship
- Every day, but especially on the Sabbath day, we have the extraordinary opportunity to experience the wonder and awe of heaven and offer our praises to God for His blessed goodness and overwhelming mercy.
- When we worship in spirit, we invite light and truth into our souls, which strengthens our faith.
- It is impossible to say that we love God while at the same time hating, dismissing, or disregarding others around us.
- Spiritual experiences have less to do with what is happening around us and everything to do with what is happening within our hearts.
Lynn G. Robbins -The Righteous Judge
- The Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them.
- Compassion doesn't nullify the need for discipline.
- Without sacrifice, a person may find it hard to forgive himself or herself, because of a lingering consciousness of something withheld.
- Unkind things are not usually said under the inspiration of the Lord. The Spirit of the Lord is a spirit of kindness; it is a spirit of patience; it is a spirit of charity and love and forbearance and long suffering.
- Kindness is the power that God has given us to unlock hard hearts and subdue stubborn souls.
- The way you see [a child] is the way you treat them, and the way you treat them is [who] they [will] become.]
- Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved.
Henry B. Eyring -Gratitude on the Sabbath Day
- Simple service for the Lord mattered in the lives of Heavenly Father's children.
- Just as we sometimes cannot see the results of our own service given on the Sabbath, we may not be able to see the cumulative effects of other servants of the Lord. But the Lord is building His kingdom quietly through his faithful and humble servants, with little fanfare, toward its glorious millennial future. It takes the Holy Spirit to see the growing grandeur.
Until you next see these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
-Sarnic Dirchi
