Obviously, family values mirror our personal priorities. Given the gravity of current conditions, would parents be willing to give up just one outside thing, giving that time and talent instead to the family.

Image
You rock a sobbing child without wondering if today's world is passing you by, because you know you hold tomorrow tightly in your arms.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
When we rejoice in beautiful scenery, great art, and great music, it is but the flexing of instincts acquired in another place and another time.

Image
As we come closer to Him, we not only stand all amazed-we even kneel all amazed!

When, as President Joseph F. Smith said, we catch a spark from the awakened memories of the immortal soul, let us be quietly grateful. When of great truths we can say I know, that powerful spiritual witness may also carry with it the sense of our having known before. With rediscovery, we are really saying I know - again!

Ironically, as some people become harder, they use softer words to describe dark deeds. This, too, is part of being sedated by secularism. Needless abortion, for instance, is a reproductive health procedure, . . . Illegitimacy gives way to the wholly sanitized words non-marital birth or alternative parenting.

The Lord doesn't ask about your ability, only your availability and, if you prove your dependability, the Lord will increase your capability.

Do not let the future be held hostage by the past

Real disciples absorb the fiery darts of the adversary by holding aloft the quenching shield of faith with one hand, while holding to the iron rod with the other (see Eph. 6:16 1 Ne. 15:24 D&C 27:17). There should be no mistaking it will take both hands!

What we insistently desire, over time, is what we become.

Image
Unproductive worry - like Parkinson's proverbial law - tends to expand to fill the time available.

We are often not only to slow to get on our knees, but to quick to rise from them.
