Don't save something for a special occasion. Every day of your life is a special occasion.

One man said, I looked at my brother through the microscope of criticism, and I said, How coarse my brother is. Then I looked at my brother through the telescope of scorn, and I said, How small my brother is. Then I looked into the mirror of truth and I said, How like me my brother is.

Decisions are constantly before us. To make them wisely, courage is needed-the courage to say no, the courage to say yes. Decisions do determine destiny. I plead with you to make a determination right here, right now, not to deviate from the path which will lead to our goal: eternal life with our Father in Heaven.

There is no finer way to demonstrate love of God than by serving Him in the positions to which we may be called. Occasionally, the reward for that service will be prompt, and we'll see the light in the eyes of the person whom we have helped. Other times, however, the Lord will let us wait a little while and let our reward come another way.
