Finding Gratitude
As we examine our lives, we can choose to find gratitude for the goodness and the blessings that come with difficulty and disappointment.—Finding Gratitude

It’s easy to look at changes and wonder how God could be unchangeable. But these changes reflect our understanding and preparedness for a higher law, not a change in God or his doctrines and principles.—Truth and Change
The Bitter and the Sweet
Life can be hard. But when we keep an eternal perspective, we can choose to remember that opposition in all things is part of Heavenly Father’s plan for us.—The Bitter and the Sweet

As we recognize our divine heritage, we will be better able to prioritize our lives. We will store up treasures in heaven instead of here on earth.—This World Is Not My Home

Exactness and Honor
There is no justification in sacrificing our integrity just because we think that everyone else is doing the same things we are. God expects us to live according to his standards, and his commandments, not the world’s.—Exactness and Honor

Pahoran’s Patience

We need to get to and stay on spiritual high ground. As we remain strong in our covenants and close to the promptings of the Lord, we will be prepared to resist Satan's “flaxen cords,” as the prophet Nephi called them.—Spiritual High Ground
The Power of Words
Words have power to hurt or to heal, to bring down, or to raise up. And the words we say to ourselves are quite possibly the most powerful words of all.—The Power of Words

Dealing with Difficult Emotions
We need to make use of repentance and the Atonement of Jesus Christ when dealing with difficult emotions.—Dealing with Difficult Emotions

A Christmas Carol
My favorite thing about A Christmas Carol is the reminder that we can choose to change. We are each made up in part by our experiences, but sometimes we allow a painful or difficult past to define us.—A Christmas Carol
Christmas Time
I love the decorations and joys that come at Christmas time. I love how these things remind me of Christ, and how they can help us make him the focus of the season.—Christmas Time
