"Through studying and pondering the scriptures and the words of the
latter-day prophets, we can feast upon the words of Christ, and the
words will tell us all the things that we should do. (See
2 Ne. 32:3.) Then we
must nourish the word and allow it to take root. (See
Alma 32:41-43.)
After we hearken to the word and hold fast to it, we are promised that
temptations and the fiery darts of the adversary will not overpower us.
(See
1 Ne. 15:24.) We
will be able to recognize the truth when we hear it just as the
shepherds and the Wise Men knew when they were told about the Saviors
birth. The scriptures are the word of God and a light to us and the
world, and we can follow this light as if they were our guiding star." -

5:62)," Ensign (CR), November

"We can call upon our Heavenly
Father in the name of our Savior. Prayer provides an opportunity for us
to express gratitude. Taking an inventory of our blessings fills us with
hope. 'Pray unto the Father
with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love.'
(Moro. 7:48.)
"We can ask for what we
need hour by hour and minute by minute. It is possible to have this
personal conversation with our Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ by
kneeling in prayer, just as surely as if we could kneel beside the
manger and see the Savior there."

"There may be times when we excuse
ourselves for unkindness because we are not feeling our best or our
mood is not just right. It is easy to act kindly toward others when
things are going well in our lives. But perhaps the real measure of
our
kindness comes if we can be so when we are tired, disappointed, or
suffering because of an unkind deed done to us. Are we kind when all
is
not well?" - Betty Jo Jepsen, "Kindness—A
Part of God's Plan," Ensign (CR), November 1990, p. 91

These are the gifts we bring. The talents we have come from our
Heavenly Father, and to honor Him, we can develop and expand them and
then return them to Him. All of us possess some talent which we can
practice, increase, and offer. Are you regularly practicing your
talents? Perhaps your talent is kindness or gratitude. How about being
cheerful, helpful, and unselfish? How about practicing that winning
smile? The Wise Men brought their gifts of gold, frankincense, and
myrrh. We can bring our talents. – Betty
