Encouragement

It seems that everyone is going through some tough trials right now (myself not excluded, but they're minor in comparison) and I thought we could all use a little encouragement. So, here's a couple thoughts to help us survive or to buoy us up. Hope things get better for everyone soon! "There is no development of character without resistance; there is no growth of spirituality without overcoming." --David O. McKay "I wonder sometimes if we are willing to pay the price for an answer from the Lord." --H. Burke Peterson "The world is not big enough that you can run away from the testimony that the Lord plants in your heart." --LeGrand Richards "The ultimate form of love for God and men is forgiveness." --Marion D. Hanks "The winds of tribulation, which blow out some men's candles of commitment, only fan the fires of faith of [others]." --Neal A. Maxwell "God...has bestowed upon us the capacity for infinite wisdom and knowledge, because he has given us a portion of Himself." --Lorenzo Snow "No obstacles are insurmountable when God commands and we obey." --Heber J. Grant "Only if you sacrifice for a cause will you love it." --Victor L. Brown Those are just a few of my favorites. I hope one of the touched you.

Thanks Hydi ! We can always use some encouraging words! I have a picture of Christ I keep in my office that says;" I never said it would be easy. I only said it would be worth it." When things get me down I try to refocus on the big picture - eternity. It's amazing how many things fade away when we gain a different perspective. Hang in there gang! Jane
