The very thought of Thee

Jesus, the very thought of Thee fills my heart with inexpressible joy.  It controls every part of my being.  My life, my loves, my ambitions are molded, enlivened, and given purpose because I know that Thou art the Christ, the Holy One.  (Keith B McMullin, "Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee," Ensign, May 2004, 3)

Procrastination

Procrastination is the father of a countless family of things that come too late.  Procrastination means making an appointment with opportunity to "call again tomorrow."  It kills self-control, saps mental energy, makes man a creature of circumstances instead of their creator.  There is one brand of procrastination that is a virtue.  It is never doing today a wrong that can be put off till tomorrow, never performing an act today that may make tomorrow ashamed.  (William George Jordan, "The Power of Truth", Improvement Era, May 1934, 273)

Satan has declared war on mothers

"For Satan has declared war on motherhood. He knows that those who rock the cradle can rock his earthly empire. And he knows that without righteous mothers loving and leading the next generation, the kingdom of God will fail."

--Sheri L. Dew, "Are We Not All Mothers?", September 2001 Church News

Open the window of inspiration

Asking for a testimony of truth opens the window of inspiration.  Prayer is the most common and powerful way to invite inspiration.  Merely asking a question, even in our minds, will start to open the windows.  The scriptures teach, "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. (Luke 11:9)"  -Elder Allan F. Packer, "Finding Strength in Challenging Times!," General Conference, Ensign, May 2009
