We Will Work for the Glory of Our Lord


 "It is a season to reach out with kindness and love to those in distress and to those who are wandering in darkness and pain." 

"The time has come for us to stand a little taller, to lift our eyes and stretch our minds to a greater comprehension and understanding of the grand millennial mission of this the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  This is a season to be strong.  It is a time to move forward without hesitation, knowing well the meaning, the breadth, and the importance of our mission.  It is a time to do what is right regardless of the consequences that might follow.  It is a time to be found keeping the commandments. It is a season to reach out with kindness and love to those in distress and to those who are wandering in darkness and pain.  It is a time to be considerate and good, decent and courteous toward one another in all of our relationships.

We have work to do.  Let us get at it with a new commitment, putting our trust in the Lord.  We can do it, if we will be prayerful and faithful.  We can do better than we have ever done before.  We have nothing to fear.  God is at the helm.  He will overrule for the good of this work.  He will shower down blessings upon those who walk in obedience to His commandments.  Unitedly, working hand in hand, we shall move forward as servants of the living God, doing the work of his Beloved Son, our Master, whom we serve and whose name we seek to glorify."
