Excerpts
from President Dieter F. Uchtdorf’s October 2011 General Relief Society message,
“Forget Me Not”:
“Sisters,
wherever you are, whatever your circumstances may be, you are not forgotten. No
matter how dark your days may seem, no matter how insignificant you may feel,
no matter how overshadowed you think you may be, your Heavenly Father has not
forgotten you. In fact, He loves you with an infinite love.
Just think of
it: You are known and remembered by the most majestic, powerful, and glorious
Being in the universe! You are loved by the King of infinite space and
everlasting time!
My dear
Relief Society sisters, you are closer to heaven than you suppose. You are
destined for more than you can possibly imagine. Continue to increase in faith
and personal righteousness. Accept the restored gospel of Jesus Christ as your
way of life. Cherish the gift of activity in this great and true Church.
Treasure the gift of service in the blessed organization of Relief Society.
Continue to strengthen homes and families. Continue to seek out and help others
who need your and the Lord’s help.
Sisters,
there is something inspiring and sublime about the little forget-me-not flower.
I hope it will be a symbol of the little things that make your lives joyful and
sweet. Please never forget that you must be patient and compassionate with
yourselves, that some sacrifices are better than others, that you need not wait
for a golden ticket to be happy. Please never forget that the “why” of the
gospel of Jesus Christ will inspire and uplift you. And never forget that your
Heavenly Father knows, loves, and cherishes you.”
