Fear Not

I thought this was good on so many levels.  I share it to help bring perspective back to the dark days of winter.

"Fear not to do good, my sons, for whatsoever ye sow, that shall ye also reap; therefore, if ye sow good ye shall reap good for your reward.
     Therefore, fear not, little flock; do good; let earth and hell combine against you, for if ye are built upon my rock, they cannot prevail." [Doctrine & Covenants 6:33-34]

"Life is wonderful even in the hard times, and there is happiness, joy and peace at stops all along the way, and endless portions of them at the end of the road...

"Please remember this one thing. If our lives and our faith are centered upon Jesus Christ and His restored gospel, nothing can go permanently wrong.  On the other hand, if our lives are not centered on the Savior and His teachings, no other success can ever be permanently right.

"I commend to you the revelations of God as the standard by which we must live our lives and by which we must measure every decision and every deed.  Accordingly, when you have worries and challenges, face them by turning to the scriptures and the prophets."  ~ Howard W. Hunter
