It takes the elect...
"It takes the elect to gather the elect. That is who we are. And no one can take our place in doing it - whether it be our place in our families, or among our colleagues and friends, or in the world at large. No one, absolutely no one, can do what we have been sent here to do." ~Sheri Sew
I can forgive...
"I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note - torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one." ~Henry Ward Beecher
Dream no small...
"Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move the hearts of men." ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
All our dreams...
"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them." ~Walt Disney
If you want to see...
"If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things." ~Norman Douglas
Humility is...
"Humility is the embarrassment you fell when you tell people how wonderful you are." ~Laurance J. Peter
For one human...
"For one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparations." ~Rainer Maria Rilke
Love can make...
"Love can make the difference - love generously given in childhood and reaching through the awkward years of youth...and encouragement that is quick to compliment and slow to criticize." ~Gordon B. Hinckley
Many families struggle...
"Many families struggle with wayward children. We can take comfort in 'the eternal sealings of faithful parents' which will draw children 'back to the fold.' We must never give up loving them, praying for them, and trusting in our Heavenly Father's care." ~Gordon B. Hinckley
It is true...
"It is true that parenting is physically exhausting, emotionally draining, and mentally demanding. No one will give you good grades or blue ribbons for what you do as a mother." ~Susan W. Tanner
What a beautiful place...
"What a beautiful place this world will be when every father and mother see the importance of teaching their children the principles that will help them be happy and successful. Parents teach best when they lead by good example; govern their little ones with patience and kindness, and love unfeigned; and have the same spirit of love for children that Jesus exemplified." ~Elder M. Russell Ballard
In the eternal scheme...
"In the eternal scheme of things the most crucial and fulfilling thing you will do is to build a holy home and rear a strong family in love." ~Susan W. Tanner
Smile For You
"Smiling is infectious;
You catch it like the flu,
When someone smiled at me today,
I started smiling too.
I passed around the corner
And someone saw me grin;
When he smiled I realized
I'd passed it on to him.
I thought about that smile
Then I realized its worth,
A single smile, just like mine,
Could travel round the earth.
So if you feel a smile begin,
Don't leave it undetected;
Let's start an epidemic quick,
And get the world infected!"
