If we are practicing our faith and seeking the companionship of the Holy Spirit, his presence can be felt in our hearts and in our homes. A family having daily family prayers and seeking to keep the commandments of God and honor his name and speak lovingly to one another will have a spiritual feeling in their home that will be discernible to all who enter it.

I am unpersuaded that relative poverty and hard work are greater adversities than relative affluence and free time.

When we have a vision of what we can become, our desire and our power to act increase enormously.

Testimony is to know and to feel, Conversion is to do and to become.

When we have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, we must have trust in him. We must trust him enough that we are content to accept his will, knowing that he knows what is best for us.

Let us give thanks for what we are and for the circumstances God has given us for our personal journey through mortality.

We have to forego some good things in order to choose others that are better or best because they develop faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and strengthen our families.
