Occasionally, family members treat each other with less courtesy and kindness than they do acquaintances or even strangers.

Brothers and sisters, if only we had more compassion for those who are different from us, it would lighten many of the problems and sorrows in the world today. It would certainly make our families and the Church a more hallowed and heavenly place.

True disciples of Jesus Christ have always been concerned for the one. Jesus Christ is our greatest example. He was surrounded by multitudes and spoke to thousands, yet He always had concern for the one.

Integrity means always doing what is right and good, regardless of the immediate consequences.

We should strive to develop within ourselves the traits of character of the Savior.

As with the butterfly, adversity is necessary to build character in people. As you overcome adversity in your life, you will become stronger.

I give thanks to my Creator for this wonderful life where each of us has the opportunity to learn lessons we could not fully comprehend by any other means.
