Whenever we are inclined to feel burdened down with the blows of life, let us remember that others have passed the same way, have endured, and then have overcome.

To catch the real meaning of the Spirit of Christmas, we need only drop the last syllable, and it becomes the Spirit of Christ.

Each of our temples is an expression of our testimony that life beyond the grave is as real and as certain as is our life here on earth.

Your Heavenly Father loves you-each of you. That love never changes. It is not influenced by your appearance, by your possessions, or by the amount of money you have in your bank account. It is not changed by your talents and abilities. It is simply there. It is there for you when you are sad or happy, discouraged or hopeful. God's love is there for you whether or not you feel you deserve love. It is simply always there.

Wonderful, glorious things are in store for you if you will only believe, obey, and endure.

May we be people of honesty and integrity trying to do the right thing at all times and in all circumstances.

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.
