- The early Saints were not perfect, but they established a foundation upon which we are building families and a society that love and keep covenants.
- I have a deep conviction that if we lose our ties to those who have gone before us, we will lose a very precious treasure.
- We need to remember that "the trek through life continues!" for each of us as we prove our own "faith in every footstep."
- Welcome and embrace anyone who is making his or her own trek today, no matter where they are in their journey.
Tad R. Callister -God's Compelling Witness: The Book of Mormon
- The Book of Mormon is not only the keystone of our religion, but it can also become the keystone of our testimonies so that when trials or unanswered questions confront us, it can hold our testimonies securely in place.
- God's fingerprints are all over the Book of Mormon.
- If one will take the time to humbly read and ponder the Book of Mormon and give ear to the sweet fruits of the Spirit, then he or she will eventually receive the desired witness.
- The Book of Mormon is one of God's priceless gifts to us. It is both sword and shield--it sends the word of God into battle to fight for the hearts of the just and serves as an arch defender of the truth.
Joni L. Koch -Apart, but Still One
- What really determines, solidifies, or destroys our unity is how we act when we are apart.
- Depending on what we choose to say about one another, our words will either have our "hearts knit together in unity," or they will erode the love, trust, and goodwill that should exist among us.
- We can always change for the better.
Stanley G. Ellis -Do We Trust Him? Hard Is Good
- Hard makes us stronger, humbles us, and gives us a chance to prove ourselves.
- A religion that does not require the sacrifice of all things never has power sufficient to produce the faith necessary unto life and salvation.
- May we ever choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong.
- Hard is constant. We all have challenges. The variable is our reaction to the hard.
- For evil to prevail, it is only necessary for good people to do nothing.
- The Lord's answer to hard times is to go forward with faith.
Adilson de Paula Parrella -Essential Truths--Our Need to Act
- Always act when our living prophets speak.
Ian S. Ardern -Seek Ye Out of the Best Books
- We must do all we can to fortify ourselves spiritually against words of opposition and deception.
- We are spiritually strengthened, fortified, and protected as we act on the word of God.
- The greater the light in our lives, the fewer the shadows.
- A patient disciple will not be surprised nor undone when the Church is misrepresented.
- Hold fast to what you already know and stand strong until additional knowledge comes.
Jose L. Alonso -Love One Another as He Has Loved Us
- Love for God and fellowmen is a characteristic of disciples of Jesus Christ.
- Love without service is like faith without works; it's dead indeed.
- The pure love of Christ, which is charity, inspires us not only to act and provide service but also to have the strength to forgive, regardless of the situation.
Neil L. Andersen -The Voice of the Lord
- You don't know everything, but you know enough!
- We need to embrace God's children compassionately and eliminate any prejudice.
- When we choose to have faith, we are prepared to stand in the presence of God.
- Our faith prepares us to be in the presence of the Lord.
- We should not be alarmed when the words of the Lord's servants run counter to the thinking of the world and, at times, our own thinking. It has always been this way.
- The test for each of us is how we respond to what we hear, what we read, and what we feel.
Until you next see these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
-Sarnic Dirchi
