He held the precious flame

 

“The incomprehensible suffering of Jesus Christ ended sacrifice by the shedding of blood, but it did not end the importance of sacrifice in the gospel plan. Our Savior requires us to continue to offer sacrifices, but the sacrifices He now commands are that we ‘offer for a sacrifice unto Him a broken heart and a contrite spirit’ He also commands each of us to love and serve one another in effect, to offer a small imitation of His own sacrifice by making sacrifices of our own time and selfish priorities.”

 

Dallin H. Oaks

 

Words can be motivating.

Sometimes one simple word can act as a catalyst for change.

Even a small phrase can prompt action.

Live like you Believe!

Practice, Reflect, Remember, Inspire!

Leave better all that you find.

Let your light so shine.

Live in this world with a smile.

Find something you would die for and live for it.

Live your best life!

Emily Freeman

I met a stranger in the night, whose lamp had ceased to shine;
I paused and let him light his lamp from mine.
A tempest sprang up later on, and shook the world about,
And when the wind was gone, my lamp was out.
But back came to me the stranger his lamp was glowing fine;
He held the precious flame and lighted mine.

“Perhaps the moral of this poem is simply that if you want to give a light
to others, you have to glow yourself.”

Thomas S. Monson

“When we face…temptations in our time, we must declare, as young Nephi did in his,

I will give place no more for the enemy of my soul.’

We can reject the evil one. If we want it dearly and deeply enough, that enemy can and will be rebuked by the redeeming power of the Lord Jesus Christ. Furthermore, I promise you that the light of His everlasting gospel can and will again shine brightly where you feared life had gone hopelessly, helplessly dark.”
