- It seems to be human nature: as we become more familiar with something, even something miraculous and awe-inspiring, we lose our sense of awe and treat it as commonplace.
- Life-changing truths are before our eyes and at our fingertips, but sometimes we sleepwalk on the path of discipleship.
- We tread a path covered with diamonds, but we can scarcely distinguish them from ordinary pebbles.
Robert D. Hales -"Come, Follow Me" by Practicing Christian Love and Service
- If I loved you more, would you [hurt less]?
- As we follow Jesus Christ, His love motivates us to support each other on our mortal journey. We cannot do it alone.
- Thee lift me, I'll lift thee, and we'll ascend together eternally.
- When an opportunity comes to share your thoughts about the gospel and the lessons of life, stop everything, sit down, and talk with your children and grandchildren.
- The most important work we do in our families is through the power of the Holy Ghost.
- Whenever we raise our voices in anger, the Spirit leaves.
- Don't lose patience and don't give up!
- Let the Savior be your caregiver. Lean on His ample arm.
- Let us turn more toward forgiveness, kindness, and love. Let us renounce the war that so often rages and the heart of the natural man.
Carol F. McConkie -The Soul's Sincere Desire
- In the struggles of mortality, we are never left alone to accomplish our work, to fight our battles, to face adversity or unanswered questions.
- Prayer is essential to developing faith.
Craig C. Christensen -"A Choice Seer Will I Raise Up"
- We need not be timid about testifying.
Juan A. Uceda -The Lord Jesus Christ Teaches Us to Pray
- He had paid attention to my voice but that I had not paid any attention to His.
- At the very moment we say, "Father in Heaven," He hears our prayers and is sensitive to us and our needs.
J. Devn Cornish -Am I Good Enough? Will I Make It?
- He believed in me at a time when I didn't even believe in myself.
- We must stop comparing ourselves to others. We torture ourselves needlessly by competing and comparing.
- We falsely judge our self-worth by the things we do or don't have and by the opinions of others. If we must compare, let us compare how we were in the past to how we are today--and even to how we want to be in the future.
- The only opinion of us that matters is what our Heavenly Father thinks of us.
- Heavenly Father will love and correct but never discourage us; that is Satan's trick.
- The God of heaven is not a heartless referee looking for any excuse to throw us out of the game.
- All the Lord expects of us is to try, but you have to really try!
- You have not traveled beyond the reach of divine love. It is not possible for you to sink lower than the infinite light of Christ's Atonement shines.
- I witness to you that if you will really try and will not rationalize or rebel--repenting often and pleading for the grace, or help, of Christ--you positively are going to be "good enough," that is, acceptable before the Lord; you are going to make it to the celestial kingdom, being perfect in Christ; and you are going to receive the blessings and glory and joy that God desires for each of His precious children--including specifically you and me.
Neil L. Andersen -A Witness of God
- Each of us is a piece of the puzzle, and each of us helps to set in place other essential pieces. You are important to this great cause.
- Guilt has an important role as it awakens us to changes we need to make, but there are limits to how far guilt will help us.
- Guilt is like a battery in a gasoline-powered car. It can light up the car, start the engine, and power the headlights, but it will not provide the fuel for the long journey ahead. The battery, by itself, is not sufficient. And neither is guilt.
- To be a witness of God at all times and in all places reflects both how we live and how we speak.
- Be careful; your blessings may come in unexpected ways.
Until you next see these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
