Cooperativeness is not so much learning how to get along with others as taking the kinks out of ourselves, so that others can get along with us.

Ours is the responsibility to keep our light bright for others to see and follow.

I think there is no place in the world where I feel closer to the Lord than in one of His holy temples.

I have found that, rather than dwelling on the negative, if we will take a step back and consider the blessings in our lives, including seemingly small, sometimes overlooked blessings, we can find greater happiness.

There is a golden thread that runs through every account of faith from the beginning of the world to the present time. Abraham, Noah, the brother of Jared, the Prophet Joseph Smith, and countless others wanted to be obedient to the will of God. They had ears that could hear, eyes that could see, and hearts that could know and feel. They never doubted. They trusted.

We learn and grow and become stronger as we face and survive the trials through which we must pass.

As we remember prayer and take time to turn to the scriptures, our lives will be infinitely more blessed and our burdens will be made lighter.
