Last weekend our family got to stay home all weekend in our pajamas, hang out, and watch
General Conference. General Conference is a big, twice-yearly meeting that our whole church
has, where we get to listen to the church leadership speak. People go to
it in person, or you can watch it at our church meetinghouses, or on
TV, or on the internet. I always find it so inspiring and uplifting. I
love General Conference weekend for the spirit that I feel.
This year I decided that I wanted to make printables/picture quotes/memes/whatever you call them of some of my favorite quotes from conference. I'll be doing them in batches; today's quotes all come from the Saturday morning session of conference. Feel free to pin/print/share these!
"God
will take you as you are at this very moment and begin to work with
you. All you need is a willing heart, a desire to believe, and trust in
the Lord."
- President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
"If we look at ourselves only
through our mortal eyes, we may not see ourselves as good enough. But
our Heavenly Father sees us as who we truly are and who we can become.
He sees us as His sons and daughters, as beings of eternal light with
everlasting potential and with a divine destiny."
- President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

"Make no mistake about it: the Lord directs His Church through living prophets and apostles."
- Elder M. Russell Ballard

"Like
the clay on the potter’s wheel, our lives must be centered with
exactness in Christ if we are to find true joy and peace in this life."
- Elder Richard J. Maynes

"If we earnestly appeal to God, He takes us as we are—and makes us more than we ever imagined."
- Sister Neill F. Marriott
|

"When we
offer our broken heart to Jesus Christ, He accepts our offering. He
takes us back. No matter what losses, wounds, and rejection we have
suffered, His grace and healing are mightier than all."
- Sister Neill F. Marriott

"As
we travel along that strait and narrow path, the Spirit continually
challenges us to be better and to climb higher. The Holy Ghost makes an
ideal traveling companion. If we are humble and teachable, He will take
us by the hand and lead us home."
- Elder Larry R. Lawrence

"A perfect
time to ask, “What lack I yet?” is when we take the sacrament...In this
reverent atmosphere, as our thoughts are turned heavenward, the Lord
can gently tell us what we need to work on next."
- Elder Larry R. Lawrence

"My dear
brothers and sisters, life is not easy, nor was it meant to be. It is a
time of testing and trial. Like the old ships in Bristol Harbor, there
will be times when the tide goes out and it seems as if everything in
this world keeping us afloat disappears. We may hit the bottom and even
be tipped over on our sides. Amid such trials, I promise you that living
and maintaining temple-worthy lives will hold together all that really
matters. The sweet blessings of peace, happiness, and joy, along with
the blessings of eternal life and celestial glory with our Heavenly
Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, will be realized."
- Elder Quentin L. Cook

"Happiness in this life and happiness in the life to come are interconnected by righteousness."
- Elder Quentin L. Cook
