In Memory....

President Gordon B. Hinkley’s 6 B’s….

Be Grateful. “Walk with gratitude in your hearts. Be thankful for the wonderful blessings which are yours. Be grateful for the tremendous opportunities that you have. Say thank you. Express appreciation to everyone who does you a favor or assists you in any way. Thank the Lord for His goodness to you.”

Be Smart. “The Lord wants you to educate you minds and hands, whatever your chosen field. Seek for the very best schooling available. Become a workman of integrity in the world that lies ahead of you.”

Be Clean. “Avoid evil talk. Don’t waste your time in destructive entertainment. Be Clean. ‘Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you?’ (1Cor 3:16).

Be True. “Be loyal to the Church under all circumstances. I make you a promise that the authorities of this Church will never lead you astray. They will lead you in paths of happiness… Be true to your own convictions. You know what is right and you know what is wrong. Be loyal. Be faithful. Be true.”

Be Humble. “The Lord has said, ‘Be thou humble; and the Lord thy God shall lead thee by the hand, and give thee answer to thy prayers’ (D&C 112:10) I believe the meek and the humble are those who are teachable. They are willing to learn. They are willing to listen to the whisperings of the still small voice for guidance in their lives. They place the wisdom of the Lord above their own wisdom.”

Be Prayerful. “You need his help, and you know that you need His help. Get on your knees and thank Him for His goodness to you and express to Him the righteous desires of your hearts. The miracle of it all is that He hears. He responds. He answers--not always as we might wish He would answer, but there is no question in my mind that He answers.”
