Golden Threads of Charity


We don't seek out tests, trials, and tribulations. 
Our personal journey through life will provide
just the right amount for our needs. 
Many trials are just a natural part of our mortal existence,
but they play such an important role in our progress
Trials are not just to test us. They are vitally important to the process of putting on the Divine Nature.

Paul V. Johnson

 

 

"You and I have a spiritual destiny, and it does not allow us to ride passively in the back of the plane traveling through mortality. The Lord promised Abraham that in his seed all the nations of the earth would be blessed He was speaking of the spiritual blessing brought to the world through us, whom He referred to as 'children of the covenant' Alma described some as called and prepared from the foundation of the world according to the foreknowledge of God'

Neil L. Andersen

 

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Isaiah 40:31

 


A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.

One joy scatters a hundred griefs.


Into the house where joy lives, happiness will gladly come.
  
A smile is a light in the window
of the soul indicating that the heart is at home.


Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.

There may be peace without joy, and joy without peace,
but the two combined make happiness

        
Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile,
but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.

Let a joy keep you.
Reach out your hands and take it when it runs by.

There are those who give with joy,
and that joy is their reward.
     

What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies.

The only way to have a friend is to be one.

Tell me your friends, and I'll tell you who you are.
Do not protect yourself by a fence,
but rather by your friends.


Since the foundation of the world, the cloth of righteous societies has ever been woven from the golden threads of charity.
H. David Burton
