“God is also fully aware that the people you think are perfect are not.” 1. Let me add: God is also fully aware that the people you think are perfect are not. I want to tell you something that I hope you will take in the right way: God is fully aware that you and I are not perfect. 3įirst, forget not to be patient with yourself. The five petals of the little forget-me-not flower prompt me to consider five things we would be wise never to forget.

Tonight I would like to use this little flower as a metaphor. A tiny voice spoke out, “Forget me not, O Lord!” And God replied that this would be its name. There is a German legend that just as God had finished naming all the plants, one was left unnamed. And there is the haunting plea of its name. It does not attract immediate attention it is easy to overlook among larger and more vibrant flowers yet it is just as beautiful, with its rich color that mirrors that of the bluest skies- perhaps this is one reason why I like it so much. I’m not exactly sure why this tiny flower has meant so much to me over the years. I knew the name of this flower because since I was a child I have had a tender connection to it. And then I noticed, among all the glorious blooms, the tiniest flower. I marveled at the glory and beauty of God’s creation. A while ago I was walking through a beautiful garden with my wife and daughter. Monson to speak today and to add a few thoughts addressing the sisters of the Church. It is a precious honor for me to be assigned by President Thomas S. I always look forward to this annual general Relief Society meeting and the excel- lent messages given here. įorget me not My dear sisters, what a joy it is to be with you today.
