Love thy God is the greatest commandment and love thy neighbor is second.
The greatest choice for family happiness is to accept callings, regardless of what they are.
No matter how dispicable you feel you are, there are angels that has been sent specifically for you, you are a child of God. Emphasis on Child.
Our ultimate priority in life is to know and love God, which is the same thing.
God promises to bless those who remember him first, like Pres. Eyring's story about the supposed insensitivities of his father who ought to have placed his wife's happiness in a higher place without being told such.
The morals are more important than the stories or personal explanation, like various ways thought of to illustrate the placing other gods first.
Unlike other organizations, we cannot change because we are basing our standards on truths. And we are still under covenant to follow and love God and not follow other gods, or the world.
Let is have the courage to stand up against consensus. - from a talk of Pres. Monson.
We must never deviate from serving God first. To do so would be a moral coward.
Cool thought! She is humbled to stand where so many of her heros stood.
Conversion is a process not an event.
Example with tithing trial of our faith is how we learn a thing is true.
When you are truly converted you worry about others.
I think about Enos and as he prayed and put his soul in line with what ought to be, then he prayed for his brethren.
We are entirely free to choose, but it was known that we would make mistakes, so we have the opportunity to repent through the atonement.
Each morning we face trials we can rely on this.
There is a strong correlation between physical strife and spiritual strife both require effort and endurance.
We might be haunted by long term effects of our poor choices, but we must remember the Lamanites who refused to return to their sinful lives and buddies their weapons, then they could not protect their family which seems like a righteous thing, but Helaman was their wise leader and was reminded that another consequence of their choice was a solid, righteous family, their wives had taught their sons great things which armed them more with faith which out powers weapons anyday.
The prophet considers his wife an angel for what she endured. He is aware of the suffering and loneliness his calling necessarily caused. He finds peace in knowing that they will be together again, and that knowledge sustains.
Shattered dreams happen, we all ask "why me?" Or " Shall I falter or endure?"
Like Job was told we sometimes think it is better to curse God and die, but we can be pulled up and cling to hope. Suffering is universal.
A old man was deaf and blind and said, "the Lord has been so good to me."
We feel great joy when we overcome.
