We cannot always control everything that happens to us in this life, but we can control how we respond.

The temple and the holy ordinances are indeed sacred, and we should be spiritually sensitive to them. It is a sacred blessing to attend the temple to worship the Lord.

Receiving personal revelation is not a passive process. As we seek such revelations, we must prepare for these sacred experiences.

Irreverence not only shows disrespect to Deity but also makes it hard for the Spirit to teach us the things we need to know.

We cannot always control everything that happens to us in this life, but we can control how we respond.

Christlike communications are expressed in tones of love rather than loudness. They are intended to be helpful rather than hurtful. They tend to bind us together rather than to drive us apart. They tend to build rather than to belittle.

Our communications reflect in our countenance. Therefore, we must be careful not only what we communicate, but also how we do so. Souls can be strengthened or shattered by the message and the manner in which we communicate.
