- If you are not reading the Book of Mormon each day, please do so.
- It is essential for you to have your own testimony in these difficult times, for the testimonies of others will carry you only so far.
Joy D. Jones -A Sin-Resistant Generation
- The Spirit will inspire us in the most effective ways we can spiritually inoculate our children.
- Being sin-resistant doesn't mean being sinless, but does imply being continually repentant, vigilant, and valiant.
- Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
- The call for courage comes constantly to each of us.
- Every day of our lives courage is needed--not just for the momentous events but more often as we make decisions or respond to circumstances around us.
- A succession of small, successfully kept promises leads to integrity.
- Children are great imitators, so give them something great to imitate.
Yoon Hwan Choi -Don't Look Around, Look Up!
- Our role can be a turning point at which significant changes can occur in positive or negative ways.
- Never permit yourself to become a weak link in the chain of your generations.
- Your faithfulness in the gospel will strengthen your family.
- Do not lose your faith because of the people around you, but build a strong relationship with Jesus Christ. Don't look around, look up!
- Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not.
- It is not easy for us to recognize the love of Heavenly Father when we look around with our temporal eyes.
- May we ever choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong.
- It is never too late to look up to Jesus Christ. His arms are always open to you.
- Hold on to your faith in those hard times. Look up to Christ for strength, balance, and healing.
Ronald A. Rasband -Let the Holy Spirit Guide
- The Holy Ghost binds us to the Lord.
- My experience has been that the Spirit most often communicates as a feeling. You feel it in words that are familiar to you, that makes sense to you, that prompt you.
- We must be confident in our first promptings. Sometimes we rationalize; we wonder if we are feeling a spiritual impression or if it is just our own thoughts. When we begin to second-guess, even third-guess, our feelings--and we all have--we are dismissing the Spirit; we are questioning divine counsel. The Prophet Joseph Smith taught that if you will listen to the first promptings, you will get it right nine times out of ten.
- Now a caution: don't expect fireworks because you responded to the Holy Ghost. Remember, you are about the work of the still, small voice.
- If we pay attention to the promptings that come to us, we will grow in the spirit of revelation and receive more and more Spirit-driven insight and direction.
L. Whitney Clayton -Whatsoever He Saith unto You, Do It
- Those who are deliberate about doing the "small and simple things" --obeying in seemingly little ways--are blessed with faith and strength that go far beyond the actual acts of obedience themselves and, in fact, may seem totally unrelated to them.
- It may seem hard to draw a connection between the basic daily acts of obedience and solutions to the big, complicated problems we face. But they are related.
- Getting the little daily habits of faith right is the single best way to fortify ourselves against the troubles of life, whatever they may be.
- Small acts of faith, even when they seem insignificant or entirely disconnected from the specific problems that vex us, bless us in all we do.
- God will always bless us for our steadfast obedience to His gospel and loyalty to His Church, but He rarely shows us His timetable for doing so in advance.
Dallin H. Oaks -The Godhead and the Plan of Salvation
- It is not even enough for us to be convinced of the gospel; we must act and think so that we are converted by it.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf -Perfect Love Casteth Out Fear
- It is true that fear can have a powerful influence over our actions and behavior. But that influence tends to be temporary and shallow. Fear rarely has the power to change our hearts.
- Our Father in Heaven's love for us, His children, surpasses by far our ability to comprehend.
- He wants us to change more than just our behaviors. He wants to change our very natures. He wants to change our hearts.
- God is on our side. He loves us, and when we stumble, He wants us to rise up, try again, and become stronger.
Until you next see these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
