The problems of our day loom ominously before us... Surrounded by the sophistication of modern living, we look heavenward for that unfailing sense of direction, that we might chart and follow a wise and proper course. Our Heavenly Father will not leave our sincere petition unanswered.
Thomas S. MonsonIt is not enough to want to make the effort... it's in the doing, not just the thinking that we accomplish our goals.
Thomas S. MonsonThe passage of time has not altered the capacity of the Redeemer to change menโs lives. As he said to the dead Lazarus, so he says to you and me: โcome forth.โ Come forth from the despair of doubt. Come forth from the sorrow of sin. Come forth from the death of disbelief. Come forth to a newness of life. Come forth.
Thomas S. MonsonYou have a heritage honor it. You have posses a testimony share it. You will face temptations withstand it. You know the truth live it.
Thomas S. MonsonA prayerful life is the key to possessing gratitude. We often take for granted the people who most deserve our gratitude. Let us not wait until it is too late for us to express our gratitude. Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. If I gratitude be numbered among the serious sins, then gratitude takes its place among the noblest of virtues. To express gratitude is gracious and honorable, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live with gratitude ever in our hearts is to touch heaven.
Thomas S. Monson
