Forget Me Not

I helped my sister this week do a devotional for her seminary class. I remembered one of my favorite talk's from last year, by my favorite apostle Uchtdorf. Seeing him speak just makes me happy, and I feel his great love for us, as he speaks through the spirit. I just thought I would share some of our findings that we enjoyed.

(Excerpt's from DIETER F. UCHTDORF’s talk, "Forget Me Not)
First, forget not to be patient with yourself.
Everyone has strengths and weaknesses.
Second, forget not the difference between a good sacrifice and a foolish sacrifice.
An acceptable sacrifice is when we give up something good for something of far greater worth.
Third, forget not to be happy now.
This is not to say that we should abandon hope or temper our goals. Never stop striving for the best that is within you. Never stop hoping for all of the righteous desires of your heart. But don’t 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.
Fourth, forget not the “why” of the gospel.
While understanding the “what” and the “how” of the gospel is necessary, the eternal fire and majesty of the gospel springs from the “why.” When we understand why our Heavenly Father has given us this pattern for living, when we remember why we committed to making it a foundational part of our lives, the gospel ceases to become a burden and, instead, becomes a joy and a delight. It becomes precious and sweet.
Fifth, forget not that the Lord loves you.
You are not forgotten.
Just think of it, as you are known and remembered by the most majestic, powerful, and glorious Being in the universe! You are loved by the King of infinite space and everlasting time!
