I dreamed, and these are some of the impressions I got:

"For whosover exalteth himself, shall be abased, and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted."
- Luke 14:11

I think in the future we will shed tears of gratitude and humility when we hear or sing our national anthem and think about our country and what it means to us - our rights, our freedom, and our prosperity.

Our trials are given for our growth. If we do not become angry in the tribulations of this life, but rather humble ourselves, our blessings will be great. Elder Orson F. Whitney said: "No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. It ministers to our education, to the development of such qualities as patience, faith, fortitude, and humility. All that we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and makes us more tender and charitable, more worthy to be called the children of God...and it is through sorrow and suffering, toil and tribulation, that we gain the education that we come here to aquire and which will make us more like our Father and Mother in heaven." I believe that is true, and it brings peace to me.
