- Be willing to forgive and let go of old hurts and habits.
- There are too many men who have been given the authority of the priesthood but who lack priesthood power because the flow of power has been blocked by sins.
- I fear that too many have sadly surrendered their agency to the adversary and are saying by their conduct, "I care more about satisfying my own desires than I do about bearing the Savior's power to bless others."
- We are here to qualify ourselves day by day for the positions that our Father expects us to fill hereafter.
- Only a man who has paid the price for priesthood power will be able to bring miracles to those he loves and keep his marriage and family safe, now and throughout eternity.
- Priesthood power can calm the seas and heal fractures in the earth. Priesthood power can also calm the minds and heal fractures in the hearts of those we love.
Stephen W. Owen -The Greatest Leaders Are the Greatest Followers
- Jesus Christ is the greatest leader because He is the greatest follower.
- Caring adults see young men not just as they are but as they can become.
- They do not dwell on their shortcomings. Instead, they emphasize the great leadership qualities they are demonstrating.
- Regardless of your calling, you are always a leader, and you are always a follower.
- Whether we realize it or not, people are looking up to us--family members, friends, even strangers.
- There will be times when the path ahead seems dark, but keep following the Savior. He knows the way; in fact, He is the way.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf -In Praise of Those Who Save
- While there may be value in decluttering our lives of material things we no longer need, when it comes to things of eternal importance--our marriages, our families, and our values--a mind-set of replacing the original in favor of the modern can bring profound remorse.
- Strong marriage and family relationships do not happen just because we are members of the Church. They require constant intentional work.
- In God's plan of happiness we are not so much looking for someone perfect but for a person with whom, throughout a lifetime, we can join efforts to create a loving, lasting, and more perfect relationship. That is the goal.
- Great marriages are built brick by brick, day after day, over a lifetime.
- Remember: happy marriages are meant to last forever! So "be not weary in well-doing, for ye are laying the foundation of a great [marriage]. And out of small things proceedeth that which is great.
- Most people are about as happy as they make their minds up to be.
- Pull out the weeds and water the flowers.
- We may share the same gene pool, but we are not the same, We have unique spirits.
- Rather than attempting to force everyone into a mold of our own making, we can choose to celebrate these differences and appreciate them for adding richness and constant surprises to our lives.
- Build bridges; don't destroy them.
- Even when you are not at fault--perhaps especially when you are not at fault--let love conquer pride.
Henry B. Eyring -Eternal Families
- The only exhortation that changes hearts comes from the Holy Ghost.
- The parents that you should honor more than any others are the parents of your children-to-be.
Thomas S. Monson -A Sacred Trust
- Wherever you go, your priesthood goes with you.
Until you next see these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
-Sarnic Dirchi
