Now Is the Time

Yes we should learn from the past and yes we should prepare for the future but now is the time for us to use.

Lack of moving forward is what got Laura bogged down for years. It is what is stalling Alyssa, Mariah, and to some extent Isaac at present.

I couldn’t capture all the temples because I simply couldn’t type that fast—even with swipe typing. I ended up copying the list from KSL.

The future is always uncertain. Weather changes. Economic cycles are unpredictable. Disasters, accidents, and illness can change life quickly. These actions are largely beyond our control. But there are some things we can control, including how we spend our time each day.…

Yes, we should learn from the past, and yes, we should prepare for the future. But only now can we do. Now is the time we can learn. Now is the time we can repent. Now is the time we can bless others and “lift up the hands which hang down.”

How we use “now” does everything to determine our eternal destination.

The adversary never sleeps. There will always be opposition to the truth. I repeat my urging from this morning to do those things that will increase your positive spiritual momentum, that lift Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf was talking about, that will keep you moving forward through whatever challenges and opportunities come.

Positive spiritual momentum increases as we worship in the temple and grow in our understanding of the magnificent breadth and depth of the blessings we receive there. I plead with you to counter worldly ways by focusing on the eternal blessings of the temple. Your time there brings blessings for eternity.
