Obedience

"Obedience - That which God will never take by force - He will accept freely given. And He will then return to you freedom that you can hardly dream of - the freedom To feel and to know, the freedom to do, and the freedom to be at least a thousandfold more than we offer Him. Strangely enough the key to freedom is obedience."
Boyd K. Packer - quotes website

Adversity

"What to do when adversity strikes? There is only one thing to do. Stand steady and see it through. Stay steadfast, constant, and true. The real tragedy in the whirlwinds of life comes only when we allow them to blow us off our true course."
David S. Baxter - Oct. Gen. Conf 2006

Obedience

"When obedience ceases to be an irritant and becomes our quest, then God will endow us with power from on high."
Ezra Taft Benson - Ensign, May 1998, p.81

Learning for myself....

"Trying to find lasting love without obeying God is like trying to quench thirst by drinking from an empty cup—you can go through the motions, but the thirst remains."
John H. Groberg - 2004 Oct. Gen. Conf

To my children....

"The more we obey God, the more we desire to help others. The more we help others, the more we love God and on and on. Conversely, the more we disobey God and the more selfish we are, the less love we feel."
John H. Groberg - 2004 Oct. Gen. Conf

Inspired

"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world."

Reap

“We sow our thoughts,
and we reap our actions;
we sow our actions,
and we reap our habits;
we sow our habits,
and we reap our characters;
we sow our characters,
and we reap our destiny”
