With all the worry and uncertainty, the difficulties and the trouble that follow us here in our mortal life, for those who are righteous—who have faith and trust in the Lord—in the end, all will be well.

Thinking about the sacred time of the Savior’s birth, why did Mary need to wonder about the course before her and Joseph question his place in the story of all stories?

Why would the role of a manger and shepherds and angels be unknown until the events took place?

In the premortal world, the Lord declared: “We will prove them herewith, to see if they will do all things whatsoever the Lord their God shall command them” (Abraham 3:25).

In our times of uncertainty, in our days of trouble and difficulty, in our struggles, let us be faithful. Jesus came that holy night. And because He came, the billions who have lived upon this earth will live again and may, if they choose, inherit eternal life, the greatest of all the gifts of God.

Today's Taco Tuesday talk was a timeless classic by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland.
Join us for our next Taco Tuesday class after Thanksgiving, 12:00 sharp, for another great discussion (and some delicious tacos of course!)

Honestly acknowledge your questions and your concerns, but first and forever fan the flame of your faith, because all things are possible to them that believe.

This picture is from the day that Mary and I were married—nearly 63 years ago. It is the greatest blessing of my life to be with Mary. She has blessed our family with direction from the Lord during each stage of our lives together.

When a man and woman are sealed in the temple, they obtain and receive together priesthood blessings and power to direct the affairs of their family.

Women and men have unique roles as outlined in “The Family: A Proclamation to the World,” but their stewardships are equal in value and importance. They have equal power to receive revelation for their family. When they work together in love and righteousness, their decisions are heaven blessed.
