Let us be grateful

Trusting God’s plan for your everyday life is equally as important

as trusting God’s plan for your eternal life.

“With our human frailties, we can do what we can do.

But you will never be disappointed by the Almighty. He will work with you.”

Boyd K. Packer

Time passes quickly. Many parents say that it's like yesterday that their children were born. Now those children are grown, perhaps with children of their own. Where did the years go? they ask. We cannot call back time that is past, we cannot stop time that now is, and we cannot experience the future in our present state. Time is a gift, a treasure not to be put aside for the future but to use wisely in the present.

 Thomas S. Monson

A single grateful thought raised to Heaven is the most perfect prayer.

It’s so much friendlier with two.

Winnie the Pooh

do you ever just think about someone and immediately get really happy

because their mere existence is a source of joy to you

A contented Heart is a calm sea in the midst of all storms.

Let us be grateful to people who make us Happy.

They are the Charming Gardeners who make our souls Blossom.

"Nobody is trial-free, but we have a choice…  We can choose to allow our experiences to hold us back, and to not allow us to become great or achieve greatness in this life. Or we can allow our experiences to push us forward, to make us grateful for every day we have and to be all the more thankful for those who are around us."

 Elizabeth Smart

Stresses in our lives come regardless of our circumstances.

We must deal with them the best we can.

But we should not let them get in the way of what is most important and

what is most important almost always involves the people around us.

Thomas S. Monson

Did you ever stop to think, and forget to start again?

Winnie the Pooh

 

Let us remember that after the funeral flowers fade, the well wishes of friends become memories, and the prayers offered and words spoken dim in the corridors of the mind. Those who grieve frequently find themselves alone. Missed is the laughter of children, the commotion of teenagers, and the tender, loving concern of a departed companion. The clock ticks more loudly, time passes more slowly, and four walls do indeed a prison make.

Thomas S. Monson

There are those among us who torture themselves through their inability to show mercy and to forgive others some supposed offense or slight, however small it may be. At times the statement is made, "I never can forgive this or that person." Such an attitude is destructive to an individual's well-being. It can canker the soul and ruin one's life. In other instances, an individual can forgive another but cannot forgive himself.

Such a situation is even more destructive.

 Thomas S. Monson
