Inspirational thoughts to start out this week! I have been quite busy doing various things recently, and haven't posted as often. I hope you enjoy this!
SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY
2 Nephi 3:12
"Wherefore, the fruit of thy loins shall write; and the fruit of the loins of Judah shall write; and that which shall be written by the fruit of thy loins, and also that which shall be written by the fruit of the loins of Judah, shall grow together, unto the confounding of false doctrines and laying down of contentions, and establishing peace among the fruit of thy loins, and bringing them to the knowledge of their fathers in the latter days, and also to the knowledge of my covenants, saith the Lord."

QUOTE OF THE DAY
Joseph Fielding Smith
"This new volume of scripture was to be a witness, not only for Christ and to contain the everlasting Gospel, but was also to be a witness for the Jewish scriptures---the Bible; and these two records . . . were to grow together bearing testimony of the everlasting gospel. As such a witness these records stand today testifying of the truth to the condemnation of all who reject their teachings" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Fielding Smith, p. 130).

The Book of Mormon Is For Us
|
SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY
3 Nephi 7: 15-17
"And it came to pass that Nephi---having been visited by angels and also the voice of the Lord, . . . and also being eye-witness to their quick return from righteousness unto their wickedness and abominations; Therefore, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts and the blindness of their minds---went forth among them in that same year, and began to testify, boldly, repentance and remission of sins through faith on the Lord Jesus Christ. And he did minister many things unto them; . . . And Nephi did minister with power and with great authority."

QUOTE OF THE DAY
Ezra Taft Benson
"From the Book of Mormon we learn how disciples of Christ live in times of war. From the Book of Mormon we see the evils of secret combinations portrayed in graphic and chilling reality. . . . we see in the Book of Mormon the dangers of materialism and setting our hearts on the things of the world. Can anyone doubt that this book was meant for us and that in it we find great power, great comfort, and great protection?" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Ezra Taft Benson, p. 140).

QUOTE OF THE DAY
Lorenzo Snow
"When we look back upon the experiences through which we have passed, we easily understand that our prosperity has been dependent upon our honest endeavors to accomplish the work of God, to labor in the interest of the people, and to rid ourselves as far as possible of selfishness. This having been so in the past, we can well believe that our future progress will depend upon our determination to do the will of God under all circumstances and the aid which He shall give to us" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Lorenzo Snow, p. 180).

Example to Children
|
SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY
2 Nephi 25:24-26
"And, notwithstanding we believe in Christ, we keep the law of Moses, and look forward with steadfastness unto Christ, until the law shall be fulfilled. For, for this end was the law given; wherefore the law hath become dead unto us, and we are made alive in Christ because of our faith; yet we keep the law because of the commandments. And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins."

QUOTE OF THE DAY
Heber J. Grant
"If we as parents will so order our lives that our children will know and realize in their hearts that we are in very deed Latter-day Saints, that we actually know what we are talking about, they, by seeking after the Lord, will get that same testimony" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Heber J. Grant, p. 206).
