Let us relish life as we live it

 

Give me patience when little hands tug at me with ceaseless, small demands.

Give me gentle words and smiling eyes, to keep my lips from hasty, sharp replies.

Let not fatigue, confusion or noise obscure my vision of life’s fleeting joys

So when in years to come my house is still, beautiful memories its rooms may fill.

 

Love is kind anything less isn’t love at all.

 

 

Sometimes the littlest things take up the most room in your heart.

 

Winnie the Pooh

 

 

“God is eagerly waiting for the chance to answer your prayers and fulfill your dreams, just as he always has. But he can't if you don't pray, and he can't if you don't dream. In short, he can't if you don't believe.”

 

Jeffrey R. Holland

 

 

The ordinary acts we practice every day at home are of more importance

to the soul than their simplicity might suggest.

 

Thomas Moore

 

 

Ordinary people who faithfully, diligently and consistently

do simple things that are right before God

will bring forth extraordinary results.

 

David A. Bednar

 

 

At any given moment you have the power to say

this is not how the story is going to end.

 

 

It is not happy people who are thankful. 

It is thankful people who are happy.

 

 

“Be the heroine of your life, not the victim.”

 

 

 “Give your child a compliment and a hug; say, ‘I love you’ more; always express your thanks. Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved. Friends move away, children grow up, loved ones pass on. It’s so easy to take others for granted, until that day when they’re gone from our lives and we are left with feelings of ‘what if’ and ‘if only.’ … “Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey and share our love with friends and family. One day, each of us will run out of tomorrows.

Let us not put off what is most important.”

 

Thomas S. Monson
