If Jesus Christ were to sit down with us and ask for an accounting of our stewardship, I am not sure He would focus much on programs and statistics. What the Savior would want to know is the condition of our heart. He would want to know how we love and minister to those in our care, how we show our love to our spouse and family, and how we lighten their daily load. And the Savior would want to know how you and I grow closer to Him and to our Heavenly Father.

The lessons we learn from patience will cultivate our character, lift our lives, and heighten our happiness.

We can choose to be grateful, no matter what.

Our obedience to God’s commandments comes as a natural outgrowth of our endless love and gratitude for the goodness of God.

God wants you to find your way back to Him, and the Savior is the way.

The most important thing is to keep trying...

If we spend our days waiting for fabulous roses we could miss the beauty and wonder of the tiny forget-me-nots that are all around us.
