Contemplation Of Life After Retirement And Life

The Development Of Faith In The Lord Is An Individual Matter. Repentance Is Also An Individual Matter. Only As An Individual Can One Be Baptized And Receive The Holy Ghost. Each Of Us Is Born Individually; Likewise, Each Of Us Is "born Again" Individually. Salvation Is An Individual Matter.

The Only Duration Of Family Life That Satisfies The Loftiest Longings Of The Human Soul Is Forever.

Each Day Is A Day Of Decision, And Our Decisions Determine Our Destiny.

Revelation Need Not All Come At Once. It May Be Incremental. 'saith The Lord God: I Will Give Unto The Children Of Men Line Upon Line, Precept Upon Precept, Here A Little And There A Little; And Blessed Are Those Who Hearken Unto My Precepts, And Lend An Ear Unto My Counsel, For They Shall Learn Wisdom; For Unto Him That Receiveth I Will Give More' (2 Nephi 28:30). Patience And Perseverance Are Part Of Our Eternal Progression.

As We Go Through Life, Even Through Very Rough Waters, A Father's Instinctive Impulse To Cling Tightly To His Wife Or To His Children May Not Be The Best Way To Accomplish His Objective. Instead, If He Will Lovingly Cling To The Savior And The Iron Rod Of The Gospel, His Family Will Want To Cling To Him And To The Savior.
