As I've been cleaning things up and going through piles of 'stuff', I found this tucked away. It thrills me today just as it did years ago when I first discovered it. We need to rehearse this everyday!
Today you are you!
That is truer than true!
There is no one alive that is you-er than you!
Shout loud, "I am Glad to be who I am!
Thank goodness I'm not a clam, or a yam,
Or a dusty old jar of gooseberry jam."
I'm ME, yes it's true, what a great thing to be!
If I say so myself: Happy everyday to me!
Dr. Suess
Your Father in Heaven knows your name and knows your circumstance. He hears your prayers. He knows your hopes and dreams, including your fears and frustrations. And He knows what you can become through faith in Him. Cherish your esteemed place in the sight of God. He needs you. The church needs you. The world needs you.
--Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, October 2005
