A Portion of Divinity

"So often our sisters comfort others when their own needs

are greater than those being comforted.

That quality is like the generosity of Jesus on the cross.

Empathy during agony is a portion of divinity!"               

-Neal A. Maxwell

The Greatest Souls

"The Lord doesn’t care at all if we spend our days working in marble halls or stable stalls. He knows where we are, no matter how humble our circumstances. He will use—in His own way and for His holy purposes—those who incline their hearts to Him.

"God knows that some of the greatest souls who have ever lived are those who will never appear in the chronicles of history. They are the blessed, humble souls who emulate the Savior’s example and spend the days of their lives doing good."                             -Dieter F. Uchtdorf


My husband is one of those "great souls." He spends his days doing good and has always been the greatest example to me. I love you, dear!

Be Content With Your Present State

Phillippians 4: 11-12
 "...I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

"I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need."

I read over this last night during my scripture study. It was exactly what I needed to hear. 

I just need to be content with now and realize that these times will never come again.

"If we spend our days waiting for fabulous roses, we could miss the beauty and wonder of the tiny forget-me-nots that are all around us."              -Dieter F. Uchtdorf
