Virtue

Virtue is the medium through which the atonement is efficacious in our lives. I went to a fireside tonight with my wife and youngest daugther when Sister Cook, of the General Young Women Presidency came and spoke to the youth of our stake. Profound. She talked about the tapestry of our lives, the threads of people that combine together to make us unshakeable and the Saviour as the Golden Thread that makes us untearable (if that is a word, it means to not be able to tear). Sister Dalton, the General Young Women President stated in a talk a while ago, "The youth of this church are going to be the ones to restore virtue to the earth." I hear that and there is hope for a world lost in the turmoil of apathy and sin. I pray for my children to remain strong in the face of such, at times, overwhelming adversity. I pray that I will remain strong and rely upon my Big Brother to carry me home. Just think for 5 minutes about the significance of virtue in your own life. Is there any? I hope so. There is nothing more precious in all the world than virtue.
