The anchor of our immortal lives

 

“Faith is like spiritual oxygen. As we allow faith to freely flow within us, it awakens and enlivens our spiritual senses. It breathes life into our very souls.

“As faith flows, we become sensitively attuned to the whisperings of the Spirit. Our minds are enlightened, our spiritual pulse quickens, our hearts are touched.

“Faith fuels hope. Our perspective changes; our vision becomes clearer. We begin to look for the best, not the worst, in life and in others. We gain a deeper sense of life’s purpose and meaning. Despair gives way to joy.”

David S. Baxter

“…Hold on a little longer even when things look bleak. Know and remember this: the Lord loves you.

He remembers you. And He will ever sustain those who ‘endure in faith to the end’.”

Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Love is the seed of Hope

  

“The happy life is not ushered in at any age to the sounds of drums and trumpets. It grows upon us year by year, little by little, until at last we recognize that we have it. It is achieved … by a body of work done so well that we can lift our heads with assurance and look the world in the eye.”

Thomas S. Monson

 

“When at times on life’s journey it becomes our lot to travel with the criticism of skeptics, the hate of some, the rejection of others, the impatience of many, or a friend’s betrayal, we must be able to pray in such a manner that an abiding faith and a strong testimony that the Lord will be with us to the end will compel us to say,

‘Nevertheless, Father, Thy will be done, and with Thy help, in patience

I will follow firmly on the path that takes me back to Thee.’

Ever thing shapes us

 

Be your own kind of Beautiful

        

“Is there anything gloomy in the works that God has made?

Turn where we will, we see harmony, loveliness, cheerfulness, and beauty.”

 

“Forgiveness is the miraculous ingredient that assures harmony and love in the home. Without it there is contention…Frequently, pride gets in our way and becomes our stumbling block. But each of us needs to ask himself the question: ís your pride more important than your peace?’”

Spencer W. Kimball

“Like the polar star in the heavens, regardless of what the future holds, there stands the Redeemer of the world, the Son of God, certain and sure as the anchor of our immortal lives. ”

Gordon B. Hinckley

“…Love is like the Polar Star. In a changing world, it is a constant. It is the very essence of the gospel…Without love … there is little else to commend the gospel to us as a way of life.”

Gordon B. Hinckley

“Few of us see the Polar Star anymore. We live in urban centers, and the city lights affect our vision of the wondrous firmament above us. But, as it has been for centuries, the star is there in its place; its constancy is a guide and an anchor. So likewise is love unyielding and unchanging.”

Gordon B. Hinckley
