All that occurs within the walls of the temple is uplifting and enobling.

Be not weary in well-doing. … Out of small things proceedeth that which is great. Behold, the Lord requireth the heart and a willing mind.

Courage, not compromise, brings the smile of God's approval.

This is a wonderful time to be living here on earth. Our opportunities are limitless. While there are some things wrong in the world today, there are many things right, such as teachers who teach, ministers who minister, marriages that make it, parents who sacrifice, and friends who help. "We can lift ourselves, and others as well, when we refuse to remain in the realm of negative thought and cultivate within our hearts an attitude of gratitude. If ingratitude be numbered among the serious sins, then gratitude takes its place among the noblest of virtues."

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.

So much in life depends on our attitude. The way we choose to see things and respond to others makes all the difference.

Your mind is a cupboard and you stock the shelves.
