To live with gratitude ever in our hearts is to touch heaven.

The world around you is not equipped to provide the help you need to make it through this often treacherous journey.

On occasion I have observed parents shopping to clothe a son about to enter missionary service. The new suits are fitted, the new shoes are laced, and shirts, socks, and ties are bought in quantity. I met one father who said to me, 'Brother Monson, I want you to meet my son.' Pride popped his buttons; the cost of the clothing emptied his wallet; love filled his heart. Tears filled my eyes when I noticed that his [the father's] suit was old, his shoes well worn; but he felt no deprivation. The glow on his face was a memory to cherish.

The future will present insurmountable problems- only when we consider them insurmountable.

There is absolutely nothing in this world that will provide more comfort and happiness than a testimony of the truth.

Life is perfect for none of us. Rather than being judgmental and critical of each other, may we have the pure love of Christ for our fellow travelers in this journey through life.

Find joy in the journey.
