We shouldn't wait to be happy until we reach some future point, only to discover that happiness was already available all the time!
Dieter F. UchtdorfIt is your reaction to adversity, not the adversity itself, that determines how your lifeโs story will develop.
Dieter F. UchtdorfSometimes the most difficult things to see are those that have been right in front of us all alongโฆ We who have heard the glorious message of the coming of the Son of God, we who have taken upon us His name and have covenanted to walk in His path as His disciplesโwe must not fail to open our hearts and minds and truly see Him.
Dieter F. UchtdorfAs you accept the responsibility to seek after truth with an open mind and a humble heart, you will become more tolerant of others, more open to listen, more prepared to understand, more inclined to build up instead of tearing down, and you will be more willing to go where God wants you to go.
Dieter F. UchtdorfChristmas is a time for remembering the Son of God and renewing our determination to take upon us His name. It is a time to reassess our lives and examine our thoughts, feelings, and actions. Let this be a time of remembrance, of gratitude, and a time of forgiveness. Let it be a time to ponder the Atonement of Jesus Christ and its meaning for each of us personally. Let it especially be a time of renewal and recommitment to live by the word of God and to obey His commandments. By doing this, we honor Him far more than we ever could with lights, gifts, or parties.
