Faith is the antidote for fear.

From time to time, ask yourself these questions: "Am I ready to meet my Maker?" "Am I worthy of all the blessings He has in store for His faithful children?" "Have I received my endowment and sealing ordinances of the temple?" "Have I remained faithful to my covenants?" "Have I qualified for the greatest of all God's blessings-the blessing of eternal life."

To those who feel defeated and downtrodden, look to the early hours of the day for your rescue...Shadows of yesterday's grief melt in the rays of early morn's opportunity.

Truth is truth! It is not divisible, and any part of it cannot be set aside.

Integrity safeguards love, and love makes family life rich and zestful-now and forever.

Fasting gives you confidence to know that your spirit can master appetite . . . and helps to protect against later uncontrolled cravings and gnawing habits.

Focusing on the Lord and everlasting life can help us not only at Christmas, but through all the challenges of mortality.
