On occasion we need to make a second effort - and a third effort, and a fourth effort, and as many degrees of effort as may be required to accomplish what we strive to achieve.

- Thomas S. Monson

I urge you to hold fast to your standards. I plead with you not to waver.

When The Blessings Seem Few

When the tragedies seem many
And the blessings seem few
When your mourning someone loved
And your loved on leaves you too
When life's a constant struggle
And you can't see your way and don't know what to do
Pray for him to guide you and he will see you through

When you find yourself on your knees
And the ground laughs at you
When your world is spinning fast
and going out of view
When you cling to your last hope
and it too falls through
Pray to him to guide the heart inside of you

When the sky is falling
and you can't catch your breath
When the world has run from you
and you're the only one left
When you scream out for help
and everyone else is deaf
Call to him and he will answer you

When you reach the end of old
It's the beginning of the new
when you lose sight of things you love
new loves come into view
When your out of luck
you've still got you
Pray to him and he will get you through

If you find one thing in life that makes you happy
You've been fortunate
If you achieve one thing in life you're proud of
You've been lucky
If you find just one friend, who lasts, who truly cares for you
You've been touched by an angel
If you lose everything, have nothing, but find true love
You'll know of life's greatest blessing
If you've struggled, have dreamed, have aspired, have tried and it all comes to nothing..keep faith, God will take you back to Heaven
The ones who held you in their heart will meet you there
