We find real joy when we keep the Savior the focus of the season.

Love is the very essence of the gospel.

I plead with you to have the courage to refrain from judging and criticizing those around you, as well as the courage to make certain that everyone is included and feels loved and valued.

Perhaps the surest test of an individual's integrity is his refusal to do or say anything that would damage his self-respect.

It is our solemn duty, our precious privilege-even our sacred opportunity-to welcome to our homes and to our hearts the children who grace our lives.

Do we have a guide to help us choose the right and avoid dangerous detours? I have tried to pattern my life after the Master. Whenever I have a difficult decision to make, I have looked at that picture and asked myself, "What would He do?" Then I try to do it. We can never go wrong when we choose to follow the Savior.

We need learn what we need to learn, know what we need to know, and do what we need to do.
