SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY
Alma 5:16
"I say unto you, can you imagine to yourselves that ye hear the voice of the Lord, saying unto you, in that day: Come unto me ye blessed, for behold, your works have been the works of righteousness upon the face of the earth?"

QUOTE OF THE DAY Lorenzo Snow
"We are all aiming for celestial glory, and the grandeur of the prospects before us cannot be expressed in human language. If you will continue faithful to the work in which you are engaged, you will attain unto this glory, and rejoice evermore in the presence of God and the Lamb.
"This is worth striving for; it is worth sacrificing for, and blessed is the man or the woman who is faithful unto the obtaining of it" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Lorenzo Snow, p. 90).
