“The future is bright as your faith”
April 2009 General Conference
**************************
“Wherefore, lift up thy heart and rejoice, and cleave unto the covenants which thou hast made.” (Doctrine and Covenants 25:13)
“I believe he is saying to each of us, be happy. The gospel is a thing of joy. It provides us with a reason for gladness. Of course there are times of sorrow. Of course there are hours of concern and anxiety. We all worry. But the Lord has told us to lift our hearts and rejoice. I see so many people ... who seem never to see the sunshine, but who constantly walk with storms under cloudy skies. Cultivate an attitude of happiness. Cultivate a spirit of optimism. Walk with faith, rejoicing in the beauties of nature, in the goodness of those you love, in the testimony which you carry in your heart concerning things divine.” Words of the Prophet: The Spirit of Optimism, Gordon B. Hinckley
**************************
Wherefore, ye may also have hope, and be partakers of the gift, if ye will but have faith. (Ether 12: 9)
**************************
Faith is a seed – nourish it to grow it – Choose the Right and Do It!

FAITH & ETERNAL HAPPINESS GO HAND IN HAND – UNDERSTANDING ETERNAL HAPPINESS PUTS A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE ON OUR EARTHLY UPS AND DOWNS
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom...
… whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he
… he that keepeth the law, happy is he
If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
Happy is he that condemneth not himself.
But we count them happy which endure.
But learn that he who doeth the works of righteousness shall receive his reward, even peace in this world, and eternal life in the world to come. I, the Lord, have spoken it, and the Spirit beareth record. Amen. Doctrine and Covenants 59:23-24
