we are His hands






Find out how much God has given you and from it take what you need;

the remainder is needed by others.
 
~Saint Augustine














"When you were confirmed a member of the Church, you received the right to the companionship of the Holy Ghost. He can help you make good choices. When challenged or tempted, you do not need to feel alone. Remember that prayer is the passport to spiritual power."
Thomas S. Monson,



"Keep the fire of your testimony of the restored gospel and your witness
 of our Redeemer burning so brightly that our children can warm their
hands by the fire of your faith."

Boyd K. Packer

"Service, to be acceptable to the Savior, must
come from willing minds, ready hands, and pledged hearts."

President Thomas S. Monson


"Hell is when a man shakes hands with the man he could have been."

"The truth is that not yet usually means never. Trying to run away from the responsibility to decide about Christ is childish. Pilate sought to refuse responsibility for deciding about Christ, but Pilate's hands were never dirtier than just after he had washed them."

Neal A. Maxwell



"Christ did not just speak about love; He showed it each day of His life. He did not remove Himself from the crowd. Being amidst the people, Jesus reached out to the one. He rescued the lost. He didn't just teach a class about reaching out in love and then delegate the actual work to others. He not only taught but also showed us how to "succor the weak, lift up the hands which hang down, and strengthen the feeble knees."

Dieter F. Uchtdorf


"A truly rich man is one whose children run into his arms when his hands are empty."


"Christ knows how to minister to others perfectly. When the Savior stretches out His hands, those He touches are uplifted and become greater, stronger, and better people as a result. If we are His hands, should we not do the same?"
Dieter F. Uchtdorf

   

Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands







C.S. Lewis











 "Hold a friend's hand through times of trial,

 

let her find love through a hug and a smile;

 

but also know when it is time to let go

 

for every one of us must learn to grow."










If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one. 
~Mother Teresa

Never worry about numbers.  Help one person at a time,
and always start with the person nearest you. 
Mother Teresa

I've seen and met angels wearing the disguise of ordinary people
living ordinary lives.

  

While earning your daily bread,
be sure you share a slice with those less fortunate. 


Dare to reach out your hand into the darkness,
to pull another hand into the light. 



Our prayers for others flow more easily than those for ourselves. 
This shows we are made to live by charity.
C.S.Lewis 



Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.
 

Past the seeker as he prayed came the crippled and the beggar and the beaten.  And seeing them... he cried, "Great God, how is it that a loving creator can see such things and yet do nothing about them?" 
God said, "I did do something.  I made you." 
Author Unknown


Find a need and fill it.



The work an unknown good man has done is like a vein of water flowing hidden underground, secretly making the ground green. 




Go the extra mile.
It's never crowded. 

You can't lead anyone else further than you have gone yourself. 

 


My piece of bread only belongs to me when I know that everyone
else has a share,
and that no one starves while I eat.
