The family unit is fundamental not only to society and to the Church, but to our hope for eternal life.

We lighten the loads of others best by helping the Lord strengthen them.

Carrying a grudge is a heavy burden. As you forgive, you will feel the joy of being forgiven.

With faith and obedience practiced long enough, the Holy Ghost becomes a constant companion, our natures change, and endurance becomes certain.

As you pray for forgiveness, you will find yourself forgiving others. As you thank God for His kindness, you will think of others, by name, who need your kindness. Again, that experience will surprise you every day, and over time it will change you.

Every person is different and has a different contribution to make. No one is destined to fail.

God offers us counsel not just for our own safety but for the safety of His other children, whom we should love. There are few comforts so sweet as to know that we have been an instrument in the hands of God in leading someone else to safety. That blessing generally requires the faith to follow counsel when it is hard to do.
