“There is a great work for the Saints to do. Progress, and improve upon and make beautiful everything around you. Cultivate the earth, and cultivate your minds. Build cities, adorn your habitations, make gardens, orchards, and vineyards, and render the earth so pleasant that when you look upon your labors you may do so with pleasure, and that angels may delight to come and visit your beautiful locations. In the mean time continually seek to adorn your minds with all the graces of the Spirit of Christ.” Brigham Young, (Deseret News, Aug. 8, 1860, 177)
I believe in living prophets who speak to us what the Lord would have us do. When he speaks it is our Heavenly Father speaking, guiding, warning, and teaching. This quote is so inspirational to me and a testament to continue to seek out, study and learn all I can about the natural world around me. To do my part to beautify, build, protect, and inspire others to do the same. Lets push on.
Cheers,
'Mr.Ray'
