LOVE IT!!! The book is from a General Conference Talk given in April 2010 by my very favorite General Authority President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
The book begins ...
Who doesn't LOVE a book that starts ONCE UPON a TIME (well actually it doesn't START that way ... but it is the second page ... so close enough!)
The book/talk compares the life of a fairy tale princess to our own lives (it is quite wonderful ... who doesn't want a fairy tale life??) President Uchtdorf says, "Isn't that what we all desire: to be the heroes and heroines of our own stories; to triumph over adversity; to experience life in all its beauty; and, in the end, to
LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER?"
He goes on to say, "Isn't it remarkable to know that our eternal Heavenly Father knows you, hears you, watches over you, and loves you with an infinite love? In fact, His love for you is so great that He has granted you this earthly life as a precious gift of "once upon a time," complete with your own true story of adventure, trial, and opportunities for greatness, nobility, courage, and love. And, most glorious of all, He offers you a gift beyond price and comprehension. Heavenly Father offers to you the greatest gift of all-eternal life-and the opportunity and infinite blessing of your own "happily ever after."
If you don't want to purchase the book you could read the conference talk OR (if you're not a big reader) you can even watch a video of the talk! (when you click on the link on the right side of the screen there is a "WATCH" button ... click on it to see the video) <3
Let me know what you think!
Lots of Love <3
