Integrity is the value we set on ourselves.
James E. Faust
Image
In addition to temples, surely another holy place on earth ought to be our homes. The feelings of holiness in my home prepared me for feelings of holiness in the temple.
James E. Faust
Image
Integrity is the light that shines from a disciplined conscience.
James E. Faust
Image
You cannot convert people beyond your own conversion.
James E. Faust
Image
Some parents have difficulty expressing their love physically or vocally. I do not ever recall my own father using the words, Son, I love you, but he showed it in a thousand ways which were more eloquent than words. He rarely missed a practice, a game, a race, or any activity in which his sons participated.

One of the main problems in families today is that we spend less and less time together.... Time together is precious time-time needed to talk, to listen, to encourage, and to show how to do things.
James E. Faust
Image
Every father and mother are the family's store keepers. They should store whatever their family would like to have in case of an emergency...(and) God will sustain us through our trials.
James E. Faust

There is no greater good in all the world than motherhood.
James E. Faust

Integrity is the value we set on ourselves. It is a fulfillment of the duty we owe ourselves. An honorable man or woman will personally commit to live up to certain self-imposed expectations. They need no outside check or control. They are honorable in their inner core.
James E. Faust
Image
The dignity of self is greatly enhanced by looking upward in the search for holiness. Like the giant trees, we should reach up for the light. The most important source of light we can come to know is the gift of the Holy Ghost. It is the source of inner strength and peace.
James E. Faust
Image
I believe that God has opened up these treasures on intelligence to enhance His purposes on the earth.
James E. Faust
Image
We frequently find that the influence of good women is underrated. It is an influence that is often subtle but yet has tremendous consequences. One woman can make a great difference for a whole nation.
James E. Faust
Image
We perhaps need to snatch happiness in little pieces, learning to recognize the elements of happiness and then treasuring them while they last.
James E. Faust
Image
I hope we can all overcome any differences of culture, race, and language.
James E. Faust
Image
Noble fatherhood gives us a glimpse of the divine attributes of our Father in Heaven.
James E. Faust
Image
The Holy Ghost is the greatest guarantor of inward peace in our unstable world.
James E. Faust
Image
Missionary work will never be what it might be without the help of the members. Stake presidents need to feel some responsibility and ownership of missionary work. The stake president is the one who has the presiding priesthood keys over both the members and non-members in his stake. The missionaries are his helpers.

A rebirth out of spiritual adversity causes us to become new creatures.
James E. Faust
Image
As we look into the future, we are going to need to be stronger and more responsible for our choices in a world where people call evil good, and good evil. We do not choose wisely if we use our agency in opposition to God's will or to priesthood counsel. Tomorrow's blessings and opportunities depend on the choices we make today.

This Christmas and every Christmas will be richer by sharing and enjoying gifts that cannot be held but only felt.
