Happy Birthday, President Henry B. Eyring!  Here's a little quote to celebrate his special day!

"You and I have faith that the way to rise through and above trials is to believe that there is a 'balm in Gilead' and that the Lord has promised, 'I will not...forsake thee.'"

Temples are a Beacon

Temples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are a Beacon to the world.  Even the wife of a famous rockstar tells of the peace she found looking out from her bedroom, across the bay to the nearby temple.  And such are the promises we find inside.

He Loves You! Oh, How He Loves You!

"God's spirit of love is with us. He loves you--oh, how he loves you--for the righteous desires of your heart, for the good that you do, for your hunger to serve him and bless his children. But more than that he loves *you.* He loves *who* you are. He loves you unconditionally. He loves the whole you, *all* of you, not just the good parts or the disciplined parts or the parts that serve. He loves your history, even if your past has been sorrowful and painful, not just the present of service and the future of righteousness we all long for. He is with you. He wants you to feel him with you, to trust him enough to acknowledge his presence . . . Let him fill you with joy and consolation."

It Is The Celestial Glory We Seek

"It is the celestial glory which we seek. It is in the presence of God we desire to dwell. It is a forever family in which we want membership. Such blessings are earned through a lifetime of striving, seeking, repenting, and finally succeeding."

President Thomas S. Monson, General Conference, April 2012

Have I Done Any Good?

“When the Apostle Peter spoke of Jesus, who had been his friend and teacher, he offered this simple description: ‘[He] went about doing good.’

“I feel the same can be said of the man we sustain today as the prophet of God."

--President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, speaking about President Thomas S. Monson, (“Faith of Our Father,” Liahona, May 2008, 69–70)

For every mother out there. Because no matter what, she gave you life, and that is reason enough to honor her!  Don't you love this quote by President James E. Faust?  How has your mother's influence blessed you?

Hope, Light, Life

Here's a scripture of HOPE and LIGHT from the Book of Mormon:

Mosiah 16:6-9
6 And now if Christ had not come into the world, speaking of things to come ^aas though they had already come, there could have been no redemption.

 7 And if Christ had not risen from the dead, or have broken the bands of death that the grave should have no victory, and that death should have no ^asting, there could have been no resurrection.

 8 But there is a ^aresurrection, therefore the grave hath no victory, and the sting of ^bdeath is swallowed up in Christ.

 9 He is the ^alight and the life of the world; yea, a light that is endless, that can never be darkened; yea, and also a life which is endless, that there can be no more death.
