January 1
At the beginning of a New Year, I always reflect back on the past and look forward to the future. I love this quote from Elder Holland,
“The past is to be learned from but not lived in. We look back to claim the embers from glowing experiences but not the ashes. And when we have learned what we need to learn and have brought with us the best that we have experienced, then we look ahead; we remember that faith is always pointed toward the future.”
With this New Year, let us take that faith that points us toward the future and work on being truer to what we know in our hearts is right for us individually and our families.
“Wherefore, be faithful; stand in the office which I have appointed unto you; succor the weak, lift up the hands which hang down, and strengthen the feeble knees” -D&C 81:5.
