The ability to communicate is not something we are born with. We have to learn it and earn it.

Ours is the responsibility to show our gratitude by the actions of our lives.

Don't save something for a special occasion. Every day of your life is a special occasion.

May we be faithful followers of Christ, examples of righteousness, thus becoming lights in the world.

No member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who has canned peas, topped beets, hauled hay, shoveled coal, or helped in any way to serve others ever forgets or regrets the experience of helping provide for those in need.

Love is the very essence of the gospel.

To you who are parents, I say, show love to your children. You know you love them, but make certain they know it as well. They are so precious. Let them know. Call upon our Heavenly Father for help as you care for their needs each day and as you deal with the challenges which inevitably come with parenthood. You need more than your own wisdom in rearing them.
