It's Like Holding Up a Light

“When you keep the commandments and follow the Savior’s example, it’s like holding up a light. Your good example helps others to find their way in a darkening world. It takes courage to do what you know to be right even when it is hard, very hard. But you will never lose your courage unless you choose to” Ardeth G. Kapp, “Stand for Truth and Righteousness,” Ensign, Nov. 1988, p. 94.

Happily Ever After

As an Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ, I leave you my blessing and give you a promise that as you accept and live the values and principles of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, “[you] will be prepared to strengthen home and family, make and keep sacred covenants, receive the ordinances of the temple, and enjoy the blessings of exaltation.” And the day will come when you turn the final pages of your own glorious story; there you will read and experience the fulfillment of those blessed and wonderful words: “And they lived happily ever after.” -Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Your Happily Ever After, May 2010

The Thrill of Being Merciful

Surely the thing God enjoys most about being God is the thrill of being merciful, especially to those who don't expect it and often feel they don't deserve it. --Jeffrey R. Holland, The Laborers in the Vineyard, General Conference, April 2012

Eraser

“God … has a pencil with an eraser on it and he has promised us that he will use it if we will repent and change our ways. … He has said that if we would forsake our evil and thoroughly make up our minds against it, then he would wash it out of his mind and just forget the whole thing. Of course, he expects that we will wash it out of our minds also” (Sterling W. Sill, Making the Most of Yourself [Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1971], p. 93).

Tiny Drops of Water

As tiny drops of water shape a landscape, so our minute-by-minute choices shape our character. Living the gospel every day may be harder than dying for the Church and the Lord. -James E. Faust, The Voice of the Spirit, 1993

Motherhood

“God planted within women something divine that expresses itself in quiet strength, in refinement, in peace, in goodness, in virtue, in truth, in love. And all of these remarkable qualities find their truest and most satisfying expression in motherhood.”

Gordon B. Hinckley, Teachings of Gordon B. Hinckley (1997), 387

No Role More Essential Role

"I surely know that there is no role in life more essential and more eternal than that of motherhood." -Russel M. Ballard, Daughters of God

Hang On

To All Who Suffer

And to all who suffer—to all who feel discouraged, worried, or lonely—I say with love and deep concern for you, never give in.

Never surrender.

Never allow despair to overcome your spirit.

Embrace and rely upon the Hope of Israel, for the love of the Son of God pierces all darkness, softens all sorrow, and gladdens every heart.

Dieter F. Uchtdorf, The Infinite Power of Hope, Nov. 2008

Lean On Jesus

Life is hard. Each day is filled with challenges. But may we never forget we have someone who understands those challenges perfectly if only we will lean on Him.
