Being a Leader for Righteousness
"President Gordon B. Hinckley has said of you, 'You are . . . the finest [and strongest] generation of young people ever in the history of this Church'
I believe you have been prepared and reserved to be on the earth at this time when the challenges and opportunities are the greatest. I believe that the Lord is counting on you to be a leader for righteousness and to stand as a witness 'at all times and in all things, and in all places' (Mosiah 18:9). Indeed, it can be said of you that you are the 'bright shining hope' of the future (Gordon B.Hinckley, "Standing Strong and Immovable,"
(Teachings of Gordon B. Hinckley[1997], 714) (Worldwide Leadership Training Meeting, Jan. 10, 2004, 20)." (Elaine S. Dalton, "It Shows in Your Face," Ensign, May 2006, 109)

Wow, I guess I'm pretty special, huh?
I have been thinking about this in the past, and it makes me think of how special my children may be, and how much of a responsiblity I will have to rear them up in righteousness.
Bytheway, I love your new blog.
I was talking with one of my friends parents about how great the wickedness will be in this world in the last days and how scary it will be for the next generations. But then both of us knew that with the temptations and struggles of this world, also come the faithful and powerful saints that we are to be rearing as our children. It is so amazing to think that there are people who are going to be coming down here with that much Spiritual Stamina.
Amen!
