"There is room for improvement in every life. Regardless of our occupations, regardless of our circumstances, we can improve ourselves and while so doing have an effect on the lives of those about us."
"At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us."
"Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb.
Sir Winston Churchill
Who I'd like to meet:
Richard Paul Evans & Robert G Allen
"There are none so impoverished as those who do not acknowledge the abundance of their lives."
"So frequently
we mistakenly believe that our children need more things,
when in reality
their silent pleadings are simply
for more of our time. "
- Thomas S. Monson
"Now is the time for each of us
to work toward our personal conversion,
toward becoming what our Heavenly Father
desires us to become. "
--Dallin H. Oaks
"When we begin to understand
the magnitude of [the Messiah's] sacrifice
and service to us individually and collectively,
we then cannot consider anything else to be of more importance
or to approach His significance in our lives.
"For most of us, this understanding
does not come all at once
and likely will not be fully complete during our mortal sojourn.
We do know, however,
that as we learn line upon line,
our appreciation for the Savior's contributions will increase
and our knowledge and assurance of their truthfulness will grow. "
-- Cecil O.
Samuelson Jr
Have a Wonderful Easter and May we, Always Remember what its truely all about...
"Hope is one leg of a three-legged stool, together with faith and charity.
These three stabilize our lives
regardless of the rough or uneven surfaces we might encounter at the time...
Hope in our Heavenly Father’s merciful plan of happiness
leads to peace, mercy, rejoicing, and gladness.
The hope of salvation is like a protective helmet;
it is the foundation of our faith and an anchor to our souls. "
--Dieter F. Uchtdorf
"A home is much more than a house built of lumber, brick, or stone.
A home is made of love, sacrifice, and respect.
We are responsible for the homes we build.
We must build wisely, for eternity is not a short voyage.
There will be calm and wind, sunlight and shadows, joy and sorrow.
But if we really try, our home can be a bit of heaven here on earth.
The thoughts we think, the deeds we do, the lives we live not only influence the success of our earthly journey, they also mark the way to our eternal goals. " -Thomas S Monson
"The knowledge that Heavenly Father loves us and that we are His children gives us strength, comfort, and hope to live this mortal life.
Allowing the Savior to atone for our sins is the greatest expression of our Heavenly Father's love for each of us.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. " --Dean R. Burgess
I love my Heavenly Father, And am so blessed... I am thankful for my trials for they are blessings down the road... Because of these trials I know the joy in my life:)
"We must never forget
that through the Atonement,
the Lord Jesus Christ paid a great price
for the redemption of each one of us. "
--Elder M. Russell Ballard
I love my Savior so much...
Their are no words too express how
much he went through for you and me...
"Gratitude expressed to our Heavenly Father
in prayer for what we have
brings a calming peace—
a peace which allows us
to not canker our souls for what we don't have.
Gratitude brings a peace
that helps us overcome the pain
of adversity and failure.
Gratitude on a daily basis
means we express appreciation for what we have now
without qualification for what we had
in the past or desire in the future.
A recognition of and appreciation for our gifts
and talents which have been given
also allows us to acknowledge
the need for help and assistance
from the gifts and talents possessed by others. "
"To be cheerful when others are in despair,
to keep the faith when others falter,
to be true even when we feel forsaken—
all of these are deeply desired outcomes
during the deliberate, divine tutorials
which God gives to us—because He loves us.
These learning experiences must not be misread as divine indifference.
Instead, such tutorials are a part of the divine unfolding. "
--Neal A.
"We're not going to survive in this world,
temporally or spiritually, without increased faith in the Lord—
and I don't mean a positive mental attitude—
I mean downright solid faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
That is the one thing that gives vitality and power to otherwise rather weak individuals.
"
-A.
Theodore Tuttle
Be Strong and Of Strong Faith,
We are Children of a loving
Heavenly Father,
We can Do it!
"To do well
does not mean everything
will always turn out well.
The key is to remember that faith
and obedience are still the answers,
even when things go wrong,
perhaps especially when things go wrong. "
-David E Sorensen
I am with so many of you wanting
spring too get here...
guess were all learning some patience:) LOL
"One of God's greatest gifts
to man is freedom of choice.
At an early period in the journey through life,
man finds himself at a crossroad where he must choose
one of two great highways-
the right, leading to progress and happiness; and the wrong, leading to retardation and sorrow.
There exists this eternal law that
each human soul, through the choices he makes, will shape his own destiny.
Our success or failure, peace or discontent, happiness or misery,
depend on the choices we make each day. "
-N Eldon Tanner
May we all choose our 'highways'
with thought and care...
"Many of us get so involved in our day-to-day tasks and worldly pursuits that we do not notice the many small miracles that constantly occur around us. This is one reason we may lose contact with the Holy Spirit and lose awareness of His promptings." -Ronald T Halverson
I am always trying too make sure I take time too see the beauty around me, and am intune with the spirit... My life is so full with joy when I do this...
