God's grace will cover us like a cloak


“Out of the lowest depths there is the path to the highest heights.”

Thomas Carlyle


“Sometimes our light goes out, but is blown again into instant flame

by an encounter with another human being.”


"God’s grace will cover us like a cloak

enough to provide for survival but too thin to keep out all the cold."




"Write down in a secure place the important things you learn from the Spirit. You will find that as you write down precious impressions, often more will come. Also, the knowledge you gain will be available throughout your life. Always, day or night, wherever you are, whatever you are doing,
seek to recognize and respond to the direction of the Spirit."


"I encourage you to discover who you really are. I invite you to look beyond the daily routine of life.
I urge you to discern through the Spirit your divinely given capacities."



"I testify to you this day that the time will come when every man, woman, and child will look into the Savior's loving eyes. On that day, we will know with a surety the worth of our decision to straightway follow Him."
 Joseph B. Wirthlin
"I know that God loves us. He allows us to exercise our moral agency even when we misuse it.
He permits us to make our own decisions. Christ cannot help us if we do not trust Him;
He cannot teach us if we do not serve Him. He will not force us to do what's right, but He will show us the
way only when we decide to serve Him. Certainly, for us to serve in His kingdom,
Christ requires that we experience a change of thought and attitude."
Thomas S. Monson
"This is my prayer for all of us. … Increase our faith to bridge the chasms of uncertainty and doubt. …
Grant us faith to look beyond the problems of the moment to the miracles of the future. …
Give us faith to do what is right and let the consequences follow."
Gordon B. Hinckley
"No matter how difficult the trail, and regardless of how heavy our load, we can take comfort in knowing that others before us have borne life's most grievous trials and tragedies by looking to heaven for peace, comfort, and hopeful assurance. We can know as they knew that God is our Father, that He cares about us individually and collectively, and that as long as we continue to exercise our faith and
trust in Him there is nothing to fear in the journey."
M. Russell Ballard
Trust Your Journey    Find Joy in the Journey We always underestimate the future.
Don’t be afraid to Trust an unknown Future to an all  Knowing God.


"Let the scriptures be your guide,

and you will never find yourself traveling the road to nowhere."

Thomas S. Monson

"A pebble held close to the eye appears to be a gigantic obstacle. Cast on the ground, it is seen in perspective. Likewise, problems or trials in our lives need to be viewed in the perspective of scriptural doctrine. Otherwise they can easily overtake our vision, absorb our energy, and deprive us of the joy and
 beauty the Lord intends us to receive here on earth."
Richard G. Scott
"Don't be discouraged at seemingly overwhelming odds in your desire to live and to help others live God's commandments. At times it may seem like David trying to fight Goliath.
 But remember, David did win."
David B. Haight
"To do well does not mean everything will always turn out well. The key is to remember that faith and obedience are still the answers, even when things go wrong, perhaps especially when things go wrong."
David E. Sorensen
"Remember, tomorrow is connected with today,
and what we do with today determines the tomorrow."
Marvin J. Ashton
"Remember, a good attitude produces good results, a fair attitude fair results, a poor attitude poor results.
We each shape our own life, and the shape of it is determined largely by our attitude."
M. Russell Ballard
"Do not allow yourself to be self-condemning. Avoid discouragement. Teach yourself correct principles and govern yourself with honor. Appropriately involve yourself in helping others. As we develop proper self-image in our self and others, I promise you the "nobody" attitude will completely disappear.
Ever remember wherever you are today within the sound of my voice that you are someone."
Marvin J. Ashton
"Remember: the heavens will not be filled with those who never made mistakes but with those who
 recognized that they were off course and who corrected their ways to get back in the light of gospel truth."
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
