Ronald A. Rasband -Standing with the Leaders of the Church

• The leaders of this Church are no strangers to your issues, to your concerns, and to your challenges. 
• Be of good cheer, and do not fear, for I the Lord am with you, and will stand by you.
• The growing question of today is clear: are you standing with the leaders of the Church in a darkening world so that you might spread the Light of Christ?
• No one goes his way alone.
• Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. 
• The Lord is there for you and for me.

Neil L. Andersen -"Whoso Receiveth Them, Receiveth Me"

• We recognize the many good parents across the world, of all faiths, who lovingly care for their children.
• While a child's earthly situation may not be ideal, a child's spiritual DNA is perfect because one's true identity is as a son or daughter of God. 
• Let's open our arms and our hearts a little wider. 
• Knowing someone's name can make a difference.

Mervyn B. Arnold -To the Rescue: We Can Do It

• As we go to the rescue, God gives us power, encouragement, and blessings. 
• We Must Not Delay Going to the Rescue.
• While we must be organized in our councils, quorums, auxiliaries, and even as individuals, we must not delay going to the rescue.
• We Must Never Give Up
• Our members need to be reminded that it is never too late.

Jario Mazzagardi -The Sacred Place of Restoration

• Yes, God revealed Himself to man again.
• I my heart an immense joy, and peace calmed my soul. I was filled with gratitude.

David A. Bednar -Always Retain a Remission of Your Sins

• Baptism is a holy ordinance preparatory to the reception of the Holy Ghost; it is the channel and key by which the Holy Ghost will be administered.
• Baptism is a point of departure in our mortal spiritual journey; it is not a destination we should yearn to revisit over and over again.

M. Russell Ballard -Family Councils

• No matter what our particular family situation is, it is critical that we understand the unique circumstances of each family member. Though we may share DNA, there may be situations and circumstances among us that may make us vastly different from each other and which may require the compassionate collaboration of the family council.
• Children desperately need parents willing to listen to them.

Until you next read these words;

I'll be watching the leaves.

Enjoy the day!
