One Sunday a
young sister joyfully exclaimed, “I get to take the sacrament
today!” When was the last time we rejoiced in that privilege? And
how do we demonstrate it? We do this by always remembering the
Savior and always keeping His commandments, which include keeping
His Sabbath day holy. We do it by always remembering Him as we
always have our personal and family prayers, daily scripture study,
and weekly family home evenings. And when we get distracted or
casual with these important things, we repent and begin again. - Linda

Making
and keeping covenants means choosing to bind ourselves to our Father
in Heaven and Jesus Christ. It is committing to follow the Savior.
It is trusting Him and desiring to show our gratitude for the price
He paid to set us free through the infinite gift of the Atonement. -

It
must be difficult, at best, for covenant men to live in a world that
not only demeans their divine roles and responsibilities but also
sends false messages about what it means to be a “real man.” One
false message is “It’s all about me.” On the other end of the scale
is the degrading and mocking message that husbands and fathers are
no longer needed. I plead with you not to listen to Satan’s lies! He
has forfeited that sacred privilege of ever becoming a husband or
father. Because he is jealous of those who have the sacred roles he
will never fill, he is intent on making “all men … miserable like
unto himself”! - Linda K. Burton,

The Savior lovingly acknowledged the widow whose contribution was
only two mites because she did what she could. He also told the
parable of the good Samaritan, which He concluded saying, “Go, and
do thou likewise.” Sometimes reaching out is inconvenient. But when
we work together in love and unity, we can expect heaven’s help. - Linda

Was a Stranger,” Ensign (CR) May 2016

Sisters,
when
we have become distracted, doubtful, discouraged, sinful, sorrowful,
or soul-stretched, may we accept the Lord’s invitation to drink of His
living
water, as did the certain
woman at
the well, inviting others to do the same as we bear our own certain
witness: “Is not this the
Christ?” – Linda K. Burton, “Certain
Women,” Ensign (CR) May 2017
