October 2017 General Conference -Sunday Morning Session

Jean B. Bingham -That Your Joy Might Be Full
  • The more we learn about, have faith in, and emulate Jesus Christ, the more we come to understand that He is the source of all healing, peace, and eternal progress. 
  • Sometimes we are afraid to trust because we don't understand God's absolute love and desire to help us. 
  • When we exercise faith and humbly open ourselves to Their answers, we become free from the constraints of our misunderstandings and assumptions, and we can be shown the way forward.
  • Despite a world that will try to knock us down to the level of "mere animals," knowing that God is our Father assures us that we have divine potential and royal promise.
Donald L. Hallstrom -Has the Day of Miracles Ceased? 
  • Faith in the Father and the Son allows us to understand and accept Their will as we prepare for eternity. 
David A. Bednar -Exceeding Great and Precious Promises 
  • One of the great challenges each of us faces every day is to not allow the concerns of this world to so dominate our time and energy that we neglect the eternal things that matter most. 
  • Sometimes we try to run so fast that we may forget where we are going and why we are running.
W. Christopher Waddell -Turn to the Lord
  • In this mortal experience, we cannot control all that happens to us, but we have absolute control over how we respond to the changes in our lives.
  • Healing blessings come in many ways, each suited to our individual needs, as known to Him who loves us best. 
  • Dealing with the challenges of life is not about ignoring reality but rather where we choose to focus and the foundation upon which we choose to build. 
W. Craig Zwick -Lord, Wilt Thou Cause That My Eyes May Be Opened
  • To look beyond what we see, we must look at others through the eyes of our Savior. 
  • We must look past the easy assumptions and stereotypes and widen the tiny lens of our own experience. 
  • We live in a world that feeds on comparisons, labeling, and criticism. Instead of seeing through the lens of social media, we need to look inward for the godly attributes to which we each lay claim. 
  • To accept and love others does not mean we must embrace their ideas. 
  • Truly loving others requires the ongoing practice of accepting the best efforts of people whose life experiences and limitations we may never fully know. 
  • Remember to put Jesus Christ at the center of your life today.
Henry B. Eyring -Fear Not to Do Good
  • Fear not to do good, my sons, for whatsoever ye sow, that shall ye also reap therefore, if ye sow good ye shall also reap good for your reward.
  • Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not. 
  • A man filled with the love of God, is not content with blessing his family alone, but ranges through the whole world, anxious to bless the whole human race. 
  • Our hearts, however, remain changed only as long as we continue to follow the prophet's counsel. If we stop trying after one burst of effort, the change will fade. 
  • Sometimes you will be the angel the Lord sends to bear others up. Sometimes you will be the one surrounded by angels who bear you up. But always you will have His Spirit to be in your heart. 
Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!

-Sarnic Dirchi
