Do we give thanks to God 'for his unspeakable gift' and His rich blessings so abundantly bestowed upon us?

Work without vision is drudgery. Vision without work is dreaming. Work coupled with vision is destiny.

Avoid the philosophy and excuse that yesterday's luxuries have become today's necessities. They aren't necessities unless we ourselves make them such. . . . It is essential for us to live within our means.

Because of Jesus Christ the world has changed, the divine Atonement has been made, the price of sin has been paid, and the fearful spectacle of death yields to the light of truth and the assurance of resurrection. Though the years roll by, His birth, His ministry, His legacy continue to guide the destiny of all who follow Him as He so invitingly urged.

You may sometimes be tempted to say, ‘Will my influence make any difference? I am just one. Will my service affect the work that dramatically?’ I testify to you that it will. You will never be able to measure your influence for good.

Testimony bearing is the key to missionary work

Our task is to become our best selves. One of God's greatest gifts to us is the joy of trying again, for no failure ever need be final.
