Patience is not simply enduring; it is enduring well!

As we patiently follow the Savior, He will bless us beyond our own capacity to become what He wants us to be.

We can choose to be grateful, no matter what. This type of gratitude transcends whatever is happening around us. It surpasses disappointment, discouragement and despair. It blooms just as beautifully in the icy landscape of winter as it does in the pleasant warmth of summer.

No matter how many times you have slipped or fallen, rise up... You are stronger than you realize.

If ye love me, keep my commandments." This is the essence of what it means to be a true disciple: those who receive Christ Jesus walk with him.

Even when we think we cannot rise up, there is still hope. And sometimes we just need someone to look us in the eyes, take our hand, and say, "You can do it now!"

Would do well to slow down a little... focus on the significant... and truly see the things that matter most.
