- Your fast offering will do more than help feed and clothe bodies. I will heal and change hearts.
- Better to teach them the principle, and let them observe it when they are old enough to choose intelligently.
Boyd K. Packer -The Plan of Happiness
- Ideally, mating begins with romance. Though customs may vary, it flourishes with all the storybook feelings of excitement and anticipation, even sometimes rejection. There are moonlight and roses, love letters, love songs, poetry, the holding of hands, and other expressions of affection between a young man and a young woman. The world disappears around the couple and they experience feelings of joy.
- Mature love has a bliss not even imagined by newlyweds
- The Atonement can put you free again to move forward, cleanly and worthily, to pursue that path that you have chosen in life.
- The Atonement is individual, and if you have something that is bothering you--sometimes so long ago you can hardly remember it--put the Atonement to work. It will clean it up, and you, as does He, will remember your sins no more.
Linda K. Burton -We'll Ascend Together
- A husband is never more attractive to his wife than when he is serving in his God-given role as a worthy priesthood holder--most important in the home.
- You have the power of the priesthood directly from the Lord to protect your home. There will be times when all that stands as a shield between your family and the adversary's mischief will be that power.
- It must be difficult, at best, for covenant men to live in a world that not only demeans their divine roles and responsibilities but also sends false messages about what it means to be a "real man."
- We need each other!
- Thee lift me, and I'll lift thee, and we'll ascend together.
- There is so much more happiness to be had when we can rejoice in another's successes and not just in our own.
- When we seek to "complete" rather than "compete," it is so much easier to cheer each other on!
- When was the last time I chose to be happy rather than demanding to be right?
- Guilt is to our spirit what pain is to our body--a warning of danger and a protection from additional damage.
Dallin H. Oaks -The Parable of the Sower
- If we are not rooted in the teachings of the gospel and regular in its practices, any one of us can develop a stony heart, which is stony ground for spiritual seeds.
- In an age dominated by the Internet, which magnifies messages that menace faith, we must increase our exposure to spiritual truth in order to strengthen our faith and stay rooted in the gospel.
- To be securely rooted in the gospel, we must be moderate and measured in criticism and seek for the broader view of the majestic work of God.
- The root of all evil is not money but the love of money.
- Our commitment is supposed to be a test, it's supposed to be hard, it's supposed to be impractical in the terms of this world.
L. Whitney Clayton -Choose to Believe
- All of us will, at some time or another, have to traverse our own spiritual wilderness and undertake our own rugged emotional journeys. In those moments, however dark or seemingly hopeless they may be, if we search for it, there will always be a spiritual light that beckons to us, giving us the hope of rescue and relief.
- he decision to believe is the most important choice we ever make. It shapes all our other decisions.
- Belief and testimony and faith are not passive principles. They do not just happen to us. Belief is something we choose--we hope for it, we work for it, and we sacrifice for it.
- Embrace belief rather than choosing to doubt.
L. Tom Perry -Why Marriage and Family Matter--Everywhere in the World
- We believe that strong traditional families are not only the basic units of a stable society, a stable economy, and a stable culture of values--but that they are also the basic unites of eternity and of the kingdom and government of God.
- People are not better off when they are given maximum personal freedom to do what they want. They're better off when they are enshrouded in commitments that transcend personal choice--commitments to family, God, craft and country.
Until you next see these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
-Sarnic Dirchi
