"Life is Measured in the Moments that Take Your Breath Away"

I was talking Stacy! and told her that the Bretheren (and Sisteren) were going to give me good advice. What did I get from the Bretheren?

Brother Perry: Sometimes bad things happen to good people: we need to endure these things with hope and being positive. "The best is yet to be..." I needed that right now. Find hope and peace because no matter what happens, the best is yet to come. AND, he talked about Henry David Thoreau!!

Sister Allred (RS): I thought of my teaching and how I have the opportunity to share myself with my students. I love that opportunity of being with the young people in my city. It also reminded me of how working with the cub scouts gives me the chance to help young boys grow into good men. I am doing what I can in my small part of the world to do good things.

Brother Anderson: Told the story of the deaf girl; my son Jack immediately identified with her in that he said, "I'm special, and when Jesus comes again, I will be perfect." That's a beautiful gift.

From Brother Uchtdorf, I learned that I must have HOPE and FAITH and charity towards myself and to others. I need to hold hope for it is a gift of God.

I know that there were other messages for other people this morning, but this is what the leaders said *to ME.*

Let us enjoy life while we live it: Carpe Diem! Seize TODAY.
