Our lives are made up of thousands of everyday choices. Over the years these little choices will be bundled together and show clearly what we value.

To suffer some anxiety, some depression, some disappointment, even some failure is normal.

Those who speak of blind obedience may appear to know many things, but they do not understand the doctrines of the gospel. There is an obedience that comes from a knowledge of the truth that transcends any external form of control. We are not obedient because we are blind, we are obedient because we can see.

Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without.

A testimony of the hope of redemption is something which cannot be measured or counted. Jesus Christ is the source of that hope.

You cannot force spiritual things. A testimony is not thrust upon you; it grows. And a testimony is a testimony, and it should be respected, whether it is small or large. We become taller in our testimony like we grow in physical stature and hardly know it is happening, because it comes by growth.

Happiness will depend on what each of us does with what each has, what we learn from what we do, and what we do thereafter.
