Come to Zion


"Come to Zion"

D. Todd Christofferson,
Ensign, Nov 2008


In our families and in our stakes and districts, let us seek to build up Zion through unity, godliness, and charity.

"The Prophet Joseph Smith said: “The building up of Zion is a cause that has interested the people of God in every age; it is a theme upon which prophets, priests and kings have dwelt with peculiar delight; they have looked forward with joyful anticipation to the day in which we live; and fired with heavenly and joyful anticipations they have sung and written and prophesied of this our day; but they died without the sight; we are the favored people that God has made choice of to bring about the Latter-day glory”."
(Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith [Melchizedek Priesthood and Relief Society course of study, 2007], 186).

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that photograph -- and it perfectly captures the essence of Bro. Christoffherson's article to me. I have always pictured my heavenly "mansion" (see "What You Don't Have or Have Lost" at Mona's Musings) setting on a mountain top looking out over rolling fields of wild flowers!!!
