Now is the time to align our goals with God's goals.

Counting blessings is better than recounting problems

As we go through life, even through very rough waters, a father's instinctive impulse to cling tightly to his wife or to his children may not be the best way to accomplish his objective. Instead, if he will lovingly cling to the Savior and the iron rod of the gospel, his family will want to cling to him and to the Savior.

A covenant made with God should be regarded not as restrictive but as protective.

When priorities are in place, one can more patiently tolerate unfinished business.

Unfinished business is our worst business. Perpetual procrastination must yield to perceptive preparation. Today we have a little more time to bless others-time to be kinder, more compassionate, quicker to thank and slower to scold, more generous in sharing, more gracious in caring.

Your life will be a blessed and balanced experience if you first honor your identity and priority.
