Flashback Friday and a Great Quote


I get an email every day with a different quote on it. Today's reminded me of the day that I married my best friend. I really liked the quote and wanted to keep it somewhere I could find it. Hope you all enjoy it.

“Our covenants supply strength—they produce the faith necessary to persevere and to do all things that are expedient in the Lord. Our willingness to take upon us the name of Christ and keep His commandments requires a degree of faith, but as we honor our covenants, that faith expands. In the first place, the promised fruits of obedience become evident, which confirms our faith. Secondly, the Spirit communicates God’s pleasure, and we feel secure in His continued blessing and help. Thirdly, come what may, we can face life with hope and equanimity, knowing that we will succeed in the end because we have God’s promise to us individually, by name, and we know He cannot lie (see Enos 1:6; Ether 3:12).”

D. Todd Christofferson, “The Power of Covenants,” Ensign, May 2009, 21



Love, Tamber
