Two quotes from Stake Conference have provoked quite a bit of thought. It was a wonderful conference.

My Stake President read this one:

Life is for us, and it for us to receive it today, and not wait for the Millennium. Let us take a course to be saved today, and, when evening comes, review the acts of the day, repent of our sins, if we have any to repent of, and say our prayers; then we can lie down and sleep in peace until the morning, arise with gratitude to God, commence the labors of another day, and strive to live the whole day to God and nobody else (Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses 8:124-25; emphasis added).

The other was a quote about answering the questions the Lord asks in the scriptures:
By opening my heart to the Lord’s questions of me, I have discovered that I am in a better position to ask and receive answers to my questions of Him (John S. Tanner, "Responding to the Lord’s Questions", Ensign, Apr. 2002, 26).

Both quotes are so good and they both have me thinking about decisions I make, how I live my life, how I treat others and how I respond to the Lord's questions. Thanks for reminding me of those quotes again! I appreciate it tons!

I'm so glad you're posting so often! I'm loving reading your blog. :)
