Followers of Christ are invited to 'gather,' 'stand in holy places,' and “be not moved' (D&C 45:32; 87:8; 101:22; see also 2 Chronicles 35:5; Matthew 24:15). These holy places include temples, homes, and chapels. The presence of the Spirit and the behavior of those within these physical structures are what make them “holy places.

Wise parents teach their children to apply the healing, reconciling, and strengthening power of the Atonement within their family. Just as sin, mortal weaknesses, emotional hurt, and anger are conditions that separate God’s children from Him, these same conditions can separate family members from each other. Each family member has a responsibility to strive for family unity. Children who learn to strive for unity at home will find it easier to do so outside the home.

Faith is for the future. Faith builds on the past but never longs to stay there. Faith trusts that God has great things in store for each of us and that Christ truly is the “high priest of good things to come” (Hebrews 9:11).
-Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, "The Best Is Yet to Be," Ensign, Jan 2010

The sociality, friendship, and unity we desire will be the sweet results of serving together with the Lord in His work.

You will develop charity as you look for opportunities to serve others and give of yourself.
-Preach My Gospel, p. 118

It is my testimony that many of the deepest regrets of tomorrow can be prevented by following the Savior today. If we have sinned or made mistakes—if we have made choices that we now regret—there is the precious gift of Christ’s Atonement, through which we can be forgiven. We cannot go back in time and change the past, but we can repent. The Savior can wipe away our tears of regret¹¹ and remove the burden of our sins.¹² His Atonement allows us to leave the past behind and move forward with clean hands, a pure heart,¹³ and a determination to do better and especially to become better.

-President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Of Regrets and Resolutions," October 2012 General Conference

Brothers and sisters, no matter our circumstances, no matter our challenges or trials, there is something in each day to embrace and cherish. There is something in each day that can bring gratitude and joy if only we will see and appreciate it.

-President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Of Regrets and Resolutions," October 2012 General Conference (emphasis added)

Discipleship is the pursuit of holiness and happiness. It is the path to our best and happiest self.
-President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Of Regrets and Resolutions," October 2012 General Conference

I think of our Lord and Exemplar, Jesus Christ, and His short life among the people of Galilee and Jerusalem. I have tried to imagine Him bustling between meetings or multitasking to get a list of urgent things accomplished.

I can’t see it.

Instead I see the compassionate and caring Son of God purposefully living each day. When He interacted with those around Him, they felt important and loved. He knew the infinite value of the people He met. He blessed them, ministered to them. He lifted them up, healed them. He gave them the precious gift of His time.

-President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Of Regrets and Resolutions," October 2012 General Conference

Working with kids means lots of ups and downs, but my wife, a nurse, reminds me that on a heart monitor you don't want a straight line.  It's the up and down lines that let you know you're alive.

"But to what end were we created? We were created with the express purpose and potential of experiencing a fulness of joy. ⁴ Our birthright—and the purpose of our great voyage on this earth—is to seek and experience eternal happiness. One of the ways we find this is by creating things."
-President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Happiness, Your Heritage," October 2008 General Conference

"Creation brings deep satisfaction and fulfillment. We develop ourselves and others when we take unorganized matter into our hands and mold it into something of beauty...."

"Brothers and sisters, the scriptures offer us so many doctrinal diamonds. And when the light of the Spirit plays upon their several facets, they sparkle with celestial sense and illuminate the path we are to follow."

-Elder Neal A. Maxwell, "According to the Desire of [Our] Hearts," Ensign, Nov 1996

“Our Heavenly Father seeks those who refuse to allow the trivial to hinder them in their pursuit of the eternal. He seeks those who will not allow the attraction of ease or the traps of the adversary to distract them from the work He has given them to perform. He seeks those whose actions conform to their words—those who say with conviction, “I am doing a great work and cannot come down.”

-President Dieter F. Uchtorf, “We Are Doing A Great Work and Cannot Come Down,” April 2009 General Conference, glue-in for Nehemiah 6:3

"Moments are the molecules that make up eternity! Years ago, President Hinckley counseled: “It is not so much the major events as the small day-to-day decisions that map the course of our living. … Our lives are, in reality, the sum total of our seemingly unimportant decisions and of our capacity to live by those decisions”(Caesar, Circus, or Christ? Brigham Young University Speeches of the Year [26 Oct. 1965], 3).
