Transcription

Consider with me tonight three very brief statements: First, remember yesterday; second, enjoy today; and third, prepare for tomorrow. By “Remember yesterday” I mean some way-back yesterdays. Think back in imagination to the day when you sat in a heavenly council and voted to come to earth and face the problems you are now having in order to learn and grow and to try—and try again—to choose what is good and shun what is evil and to prove yourself worthy to return to your heavenly parents who care so deeply about everything you do. Other yesterdays to remember have been mentioned here in vignettes of song and story as we search our spiritual roots during this important year.
