Devotional

Today we heard from President Thomas S. Monson for our devotional.
It was amazing. If you did not get a chance to hear it go to

to listen, watch or read it.


President Monson gave simple, sweet memories of each of the prophets from his life time. He told of personal memories and of the prophet's favorite song and food. He also gave a favorite quote and key character trait of each:

President Heber J. Grant: Presist

President George Albert Smith: There is a great tug of war going on between Satan and the Lord. Stay firmly on the Lord's side; Compassion.

President David O McKay: Consideration

President Joseph Fielding Smith: Scholarship

President Harold B. Lee: Stand ye in holy places and be not moved; Be responsive to and in tune with the Holy Spirit

President Spencer W. Kimball: Lengthen your stride; Dedication

President Ezra Taft Benson: What manner of me ought ye to be? Verily I say unto you, even as I am. (3 Nephi 27:27); Love

President Howard W. Hunter: Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth... (Proverbs 27:2); Look for the Best in People

President Gordon B. Hinckley: And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the testimony, last of all, which we give of him: That he lives! (Doctrine and Covenants 76:22) ; Do Your Best

President Monson concluded by stating these men have never wiavered, never faltered and have never failed.
