As we act in faith

"Let us remember too that the further out of line or out of tune we ourselves are, the more we are inclined to look for error or weaknesses in others and to try to rationalize and justify our own faults rather than to try to improve ourselves." 
N. Eldon Tanner

"Christ's example and instructions to us are clear. 'Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you'. What is our response when we are offended, misunderstood, unfairly or unkindly treated, or sinned against, made an offender for a word, falsely accused, passed over; hurt by those we love, our offerings rejected? The answer may well determine the quality of our lives."
Marion D. Hanks

'As we act in faith, we often find that the blessings 
from the Lord are different than we expected 
but much better than we imagined.' 
Neil L. Andersen

"My candle burns at both ends; It will not last the night.  But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends---it gives a lovely light."  Edna St. Vincent Millay
