Sunday Morning and Afternoon Sessions of the 181st Semi Annual General Conference were fabulous!
President Henry B. Eyring
We promised to rise to "it", now it's time for me to RISE! How? see below *grin*
Be charitable, Be a Witness of God, Endure! (Think of Moroni, he encouraged charity and faith in Jesus Christ, even when being faced with death all the way to the end.)
Elder Robert D. Hales
We may weepeth for a night, but JOY will come in the morning!
Let us be kinder to one another and kinder to ourselves.
Elder Tad R. Callister
The genius of the Book of Mormon is that it has no gray; it is either black or white. True or false. We must make the choice; it's either God or the devil.
Feast upon the words of Christ
One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism and the Book of Mormon confirms or clarifies all that is in the Holy Bible, or all that had been changed.
Sister Elaine S. Dalton
*** This was one of my favorite talks this G.C., and maybe one of my favorite talks EVER! It just made me feel good inside to know that I am looking for the right guy. Someone who will love me enough, and by his words and his deeds be setting an example for our children on how they should be loved ***
How can a father raise a daughter in THIS world?
~SHOW LOVE TO HER MOTHER!
Your daughters won't settle for anything less is she recognizes her worth!
Be the guardian of virtue (clean thoughts and pure actions.)
Abish's strength of conversion came through her father! Through Abish's conversion came the Stripling Warriors.
Elder M. Russel Ballard
Names are important, they distinguish each of us.
I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! and this is the name that the Lord will call us at the Last day.
Remember to retain the name of Christ always in my heart.
President Thomas S. Monson
"We love ya Bob" How sweet that was to hear!
We DO NOT ring our hands in despair! We have the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
The laws of men have changed, but the Laws of God have not and will not.
God is unchangeable, His constancy is something we can rely on!
"There is nothing else that can bring joy and peace to our souls than following and keeping the commandments of our Savior!" What a promise!
COMMUNICATE with the Lord
This is where I felt the most amazing peace. I really felt that President Monson's talk was an answer to my own personal prayers and was being said for my own learning. I know I had to write the post on communication before I went to bed on Saturday and how sweet it was to hear it talked about by the Prophet!
All will be well. Be worthy of it. Trust it. Do it with the communication of our Father in Heaven!
"Fear not, I am with thee..."
Elder Russel M. Nelson
Make, Keep, and Honor the covenants I have made to the Lord!
We are "children of the covenant" and we have the right to receive the blessings of Abraham because we have been adopted in.
Patriarchal Blessings bring a view of the future and a connection to the past.
Missionary work, the ancient promise of "Gathering Israel".
Gather His children of COVENANT Israel.
When we realize we are the committed children of the covenant, we know our potential and where we came from.
Elder Dallin H. Oaks
What do I really believe about Jesus Christ? What am I doing about it in my life?
Remember what Christ taught... who He was and why He came into this world!
FOCUS ON CHRIST NOT THE THINGS OF THIS WORLD!
Seek ye first the Kingdom on God.
I must desire and obey so that I may have the same knowledge of Christ of who He was, and why He came into this world.
Brother Matthew O. Richardson
Becoming "real". Real learning is from real teaching.
We are all teachers, but we have to recognize that the Holy Ghost is the ultimate teacher!
Teach BY the Spirit!
There are 2 fundamental ways the Spirit teaches... line upon line, here a little and there a little and by prompting/inspiring us to act. He cannon learn/act for us, but can invite opportunities to do so.
Learn values, not just about values.
Turn around and see how far you've come, then take one step at a time to move forward and upward!
Real Parents Real Teachers Real Leaders Real Learners
Elder Kazuniko Yamashita
Stand on the Mountains!
Through our love toward others, we impart the love of God.
Continue to be missionaries and act as Disciples of Jesus Christ!
Elder Randall K Bennett
Evaluate the choices we are making... will there be a current that takes you far away from your loved ones and the safety of the shore?
Decisions lead to destiny... we have a divine nature and destiny as children of God.
We can inherit eternal life IF we choose to follow Christ! Hearken to God and CHOOSE eternal life!
Am self disciplined enough to be able to detect early when I am going down the wrong path?
Am I seeking divine revelation?
Am I following the world?
Am I helping to rescue others?
Elder J. Devn Cornish
Heavenly Father WANTS to bless us! Pray!
The Lords Prayer! Commit to do my part, repent, forgive, seek for leadership and guidance... "For this is Thy glory and power forever."
Secrets to a joyful life are recognizing doing things the Lords way, and not my own.
Prayer is the provider of spiritual peace! Miracles are wrought by prayer!
Elder Quentin L. Cook
Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people?
~Our Father in Heaven knows and loves us and our pains
~He has a Son, Jesus Christ who FILLS ALL THE UNFAIRNESS OF LIFE
~There is Eternal Glory available
Those without knowledge of the first and second acts will not understand the play if they walk in during the third act.
Happy endings are not always possible in this life, but prayers and pristhood blessing can still be given.
THE REFINERS FIRE IS REAL- PERFECT PURIFYING TO PREPARE US TO MEET GOD!
The Titanic did not have enough life boats, but the Saviors Atonement has enough for all!
Look through the clear lens of the Gospel; don't look through the limited lens of the world.
President Thomas S. Monson
A most inspiring Conference!
Heavenly Father is mindful of us! Acknowledge His hand in all things!
We are Gods hands here on the earth.
Each position in the church is fulfilling the work of the Lord.
Do Gods will, serve Him, and serve His children
Prayers: Remember Gods servants.
Every man, woman, and child has a part to play in God's Plan!
OUR SAVIOR LIVES!
He is willing to come to us and go far to help us! He has promised Peace!
How sweet it is to partake of the goodness that is Conference. I feel a new sense of self. A new awakening in my spirit to GO TO WORK! I sense that Satan knows that about me too and that is why these last few weeks have been kinda hard. I am sorry I haven't finished this post sooner. How good it has been for my spirit! I see now the true love of my Father in Heaven! How sweet it was to re read these talks and see that the Lord really was answering my prayers and adding to the areas that I am learning right now. Was it me, or did you guys see the strong connection a lot of the speakers had with the sermons of King Benjamin? It was amazing! Time to study and I mean STUDY his words and do so with a spirit of learning and humility.
Thank you my dear kind and wise Father in Heaven for loving all of us enough to prepare us during this life by teaching us where to find the tools we will need to combat Satan so we can return to live with Thee again! Thank you Jesus Christ for taking on yourself my imperfections and mistakes. How sweet it is to KNOW Thou knowest me and Thou knowest what I need right now in my life. I, a 29 year old, single student, who is trying to learn to love people and life more and more each day. THANK YOU!
