“I share three recommendations which I think are particularly relevant: First, don’t underestimate the importance of doing what we can to rescue others from physical and spiritual challenges. Second, gratefully accept the Atonement. We should strive to exhibit joy even as we face the challenges of life. Our goal should be to live optimistically on the sunny side of the street. I’ve observed my precious companion, Mary, do this her entire life. I’ve appreciated her sparkling, uplifting approach even as we’ve faced problems throughout the years. My third counsel is to set aside time to faithfully contemplate the Atonement. There are many ways to do this. Attending sacrament meeting and partaking of the sacrament are especially significant. Equally important is attendance in a temple. The temple provides a continuing remembrance of the Savior’s Atonement. Even more important, temple attendance allows us to provide a spiritual rescue for our deceased loved ones and more distant ancestors.” – Elder Quentin L. Cook
