Forget Me Not

"It is my prayer and blessing that you will never forget that you are truly precious daughter in God's kingdom...The five petals of the little forget-me-not flower prompt me to

consider five things we would be wise never to foget..."

1. Forget not to be patient with yourself:

God is fully aware that you and i are not perfect...many of you are endlessly compassionate and patient with the weaknesses of others. Please remember also to be compassionat and patient with yourself.

2. Forget not the difference between a good sacrifice and a foolish sacrifice:

An acceptable sacrifice is when we give up soemthing good for something of far greater worth.

3. Forget not to be happy now:

So many people today are waiting for their golden ticket - the ticket that they believe holds the key to the happiness they have always dreamd about...There is nothing wrong with righteous yearning...the problem comes when we put our happiness on hold as we wait for some future event...to appear. Dont close your eyes and hearts to the simple and elegant beauties of each day's ordinary moments that make up a rich, well-lived life.

4. Forget not the "why" of the gospel:

The "why" of obedience sanctifies our actions, transforming the mundane into the majestic. it magnifies our small acts of obedience into holy acts of consecration.

5. Forget not that the Lord loves you:

Just think of it: you are known and remembered by the most majestic, powerful, and glorious Being in the universe!...God loves you because you are His child.

-Dieter F. Uchtdorf
