“Could We Have Supposed when We Started that God Would Have Granted Unto Us Such Great Blessings”

Bryan Richards

The Lord is able to bless us with things which exceed our comprehension. We might imagine the greatest of blessings, but he is still capable of exceeding our most excellent expectations. These blessings may be realized in mortality or in the hereafter, but Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him (1 Cor 2:9).

Stephen L. Richards

"I think that is a solemn thought for all of us, and I trust that as we ponder it we shall all decide, as I have reason to believe we will, that we will aspire to the highest ideals, to the loftiest stations attainable with this holy power that God has given to us. If we aspire to attain that exaltation, work for it consciously, serve faithfully, keeping the commandments, our rewards will exceed even our fondest expectations. Of that I am convinced." (Conference Report, Apr. 1959, p. 86)
