Now it is our time

 "When the light dawns and it finally comes to you that this gospel really is true and the work matters and that God is not going to come down and di it Himself, we will realize that we are the only hands He has got, and that we are the only feet He has got.  When somebody knocks on those doors, it is with our knuckles.  When we make contact on the street, it is our voice out there on that street corner.  When we work with the less-active, Moroni and Mormon and Alma and Joseph Smith are not going to come down and go in that door and do that teaching; it is you and it is me.  It is just people who get up, like we get up every morning, and do the work of the Lord the way those men and their wives did it in the era and in their day and in their age, and in their time: but now it is our time.  

When we come to know this, we will get on with the work."

Jeffrey R Holland

Be There

 “Each of us was there in the Council in Heaven to choose the great plan of happiness we now enjoy. … When you have made a commitment to yourself, your family, your bishop, your employer, be there. When it is time to be in church, at Mutual, or fulfilling [an] assignment, be there. When it is time to graduate from school or training programs, be there. When it is time to serve a mission, be there. When the young woman [or man] you love most kneels at the altar of God’s holy temple, be there (and not as a witness). When your family is gathered in the celestial kingdom, be there. When the Savior waits to greet you as you return with honor from your life on this earth and your Heavenly Father wants to encircle you about in the arms of His love, be there.” 

Elder Robert D. Hales  ("To the Aaronic Priesthood"- April 2007 General Conference)
