I am so grateful for the steadfast Christlike example of my dear wife, Susan. When she and I spoke together recently at a Worldwide Devotional for Young Adults, she provided inspired counsel on how we can replace fear with Christlike love and faith. And I wanted you to have an opportunity to learn from her. During this season of giving thanks, “I cannot say the smallest part” (Alma 26:16) of how thankful I am for my wonderful eternal companion and her example to me. | David A. Bednar
