Inspirational Thoughts

These were a few of my favorite thoughts shared during General Conference this weekend.

"Rather than dwelling on the past, we should make the most of today, of the here and now...doing all that we can to provide pleasant memories for the future. If you're still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled, will disappear all too soon, and that you will, to your surprise, miss them profoundly."
*President Thomas S. Monson*

"Fear and faith cannot coexist in our heart at the same time".
* Elder Neil L. Andersen*

"Hope is not knowledge, but rather, the abiding trust that the Lord will fulfill His promise to us. It is confidence that if we live according to God's laws and the words of His prophets now, we will receive desired blessings in the future. It is believing and expecting that our prayers will be answered. It is manifest in confidence, optimism, enthusiasm and patient perseverance. In the language of the gospel, this hope is sure, unwavering and active. It is a hope glorifying God through God works. With hope comes joy and happiness. With hope we can have patience and bear our afflictions."
*President Dieter F. Uchtdorf*

And this one gave me a good laugh...

"Worldy trends in women's fashions are always inviting extremes. With the latest styles, many fashion designers appear to be trying to make 2 or 3 dresses out of the amount of the same fabric necessary for one. Mostly they are taking too much off the top and too much off the bottom of women's clothing, and occasionally they even scrimp around the middle too."
*Elder L. Tom Perry*
