Where there is love, there is life

 

 

"Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride."
Gordon B. Hinckley
 
"I invite you to not only love each other more,
but to love each other better."
Bonnie L. Oscarson
 
“Who we are is not who we can become.”
Donald L. Hallstrom
 
When we say that's just the way I am,
we concede that we cannot change.
If we show love and respect even in adverse circumstances,
we become more like Christ.
Quentin L. Cook
 
The unique burdens in each of our lives help us to rely on
the merits, mercy and grace of the Holy Messiah.
David A. Bednar
 
You will stand aside and look at your difficult times and realize
He was always there beside you.
 
“Believe in yourself and in your capacity to do great and good things. Believe that no mountain is so high that you cannot climb it. No storm is so great that you cannot weather it. You can do whatever it is that you set your heart on. ...As you do this opportunities will unfold and open before you, and the skies will clear when they have been dark. Never forget that you are not destined to fail. You are a child of God, of infinite capacity.”
 Gordon B. Hinckley
 
 
“Let us not demean or belittle. Rather,
let us be compassionate and encouraging.”  
Thomas S. Monson
 
What He asks of each one of us is to be able and willing to
take up the joyful “burden” of discipleship.
 
The most important thing is to keep trying.
 
…..everyone is welcome to walk that path to eternal life.
 
As Gandhi put it simply,
“Where there is love, there is life.”
 
"Life is perfect for none of us. Rather than being judgmental and critical of each other, may we have the pure love of Christ for our fellow travelers in this journey through life."
 Thomas S. Monson
 
“God expects you to have enough faith and determination and enough trust in Him to keep moving, keep living,
keep rejoicing. In fact, He expects you not simply to face the future...
He expects you to embrace and shape the future to love it and rejoice in it and delight in your opportunities. "
Jeffrey R Holland
