More gems

This from Elder Joseph B Wirthlin:

"Eternal life 'is the greatest of all the gifts of God' (D&C 14:7). 'Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him' (1 Corinthians 2:9). I could speak of kindoms and glory and knowledge beyond comprehension, but the words would do little justice to the reality. I could speak of exquisite joy and of infinite peace, but meager words fall incomplete and empty compared to the glorious truth. Can the word waterfall describe Niagara? Can nebula describe the glory of Orion? Can love give a satisfactory description to the tender and profound feelings of a mother for her child? Eternal life is the culmination of existence. As spiritual children of God, you and I are heirs to this priceless fortune, benefactors to a glorious future, recipients of grace."

Take some time to digest that. And if you saw me reading this in the library today, don't worry; those tears were not of sadness, but rather of love, gratitude, and rejoicing.
