I love the prophet! His passing is such a bitter sweet moment in many of our lives. It is always sad when someone we love so much passes from us. But when I think of the happy reunion he and his sweet Marjorie must have had I can't help but smile.
President Gordon B. Hinckley
"My plea is that we stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight. I am suggesting that as we go through life, we "accentuate the positive." I am asking that we look a little deeper for the good, that we still our voices of insult and sarcasm, that we more generously compliment and endorse virtue and effort."
"The time has come to stand a little taller, to lift our eyes and stretch our minds to a greater comprehension and understanding of the grand millennial mission of this The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This is a season to be strong. It is a time to move forward without hesitation, knowing well the meaning, the breadth, and the importance of our mission. It is a time to do what is right regardless of the consequences that might follow. We have nothing to fear. God is at the helm. He will overrule for the good of the work."
"Love the work. Don't do it grudgingly. Smile about it. Be happy in doing your duty. Shape up and say your prayers. Everything will be all right."
