The sweetest feeling in mortality is to realize that God, our Heavenly Father, knows each one of us and generously permits us to see and to share His divine power to save.

As we arise each morning, let us determine to respond with love and kindness to whatever might come our way.

Things which provide deep and lasting happiness and gratitude are the things which money cannot buy: our families, the gospel, good friends, our health, our abilities, the love we receive from those around us.

Many more people could ride out the storm-tossed waves in their economic lives if they had their year's supply of food…and were debt-free. Today we find that many have followed this counsel in reverse: they have at least a year's supply of debt and are food-free.

Missionary service is a priesthood duty.

We should strive for steadiness, and for a commitment to God that does not ebb and flow with the years or the crises of our lives.

I urge you to hold fast to your standards. I plead with you not to waver.
