Here’s your daily dose of what matters most!
Deep within us is a longing for the peace and joy of our heavenly home, a place where we truly belong. This yearning reminds us to seek Christ, who guides us back to the Father with love and grace.
Scripture
“Now, concerning the state of the soul between death and the resurrection—Behold, it has been made known unto me by an angel, that the spirits of all men, as soon as they are departed from this mortal body, yea, the spirits of all men, whether they be good or evil, are taken home to that God who gave them life.”—Alma 40:11
Quote
“I believe that every man, woman, and child has felt the call of heaven at some point in his or her life. Deep within us is a longing to somehow reach past the veil and embrace Heavenly Parents we once knew and cherished.”—Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Living the Principle: Yearning for Our Heavenly Home
- Create a “Heavenly Home” mindset: Fill your home and daily life with things that bring you closer to God—uplifting music, scripture study, inspiring artwork, and meaningful prayer.
- Practice Christlike belonging: Make others feel at home by offering kindness, inclusion, and love, just as we hope to feel in our heavenly home.
- Focus on eternal priorities: Let your choices reflect your desire to return to God by prioritizing faith, family, and service over worldly distractions.
