Today’s enLIGHTen felt like standing beneath the branches of the Tree of Life and remembering that God is always reaching toward us. 🌿

With Dianna Istook Abbott, we talked about trees, temples, priesthood power, spiritual treasures, and the beautiful truth that growth often happens in hidden places first. Just like roots stretching deep underground before fruit appears, so much of what God is doing in us happens quietly before it blossoms.

One of my favorite thoughts from today:

We talked about how the Tree of Life begins in Genesis and appears again in Revelation… how light overcomes darkness… how the Savior nourishes us little by little… and how every covenant, every prayer, every small act of turning toward Him is part of our journey back to the presence of God.
