Make certain decisions only once . . . We can make a single decision about certain things that we will incorporate in our lives and then make them ours - without having to brood and re-decide a hundred times what it is we will do and what we will not do.

I ask you, what good is a big picture window and the lavish appointments and a priceless decor in a home if there is no mother there?

Peace of mind, joy and happiness cannot be purchased with money or worldly goods.

The leaven of true leadership cannot lift others unless we are with and serve those to be led.

Make certain decisions only once.

As Latter-day Saints we must ever be vigilant. The way for each person and each family to guard against the slings and arrows of the Adversary and to prepare for the great day of the Lord is to hold fast to the iron rod, to exercise greater faith, to repent of our sins and shortcomings, and to be anxiously engaged in the work of His kingdom on earth, which is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Herein lies the only true happiness for all our Father's children.

I am comforted by the assurance that there will be beautiful music in heaven, and for that I am most grateful.
