“Try a little harder to be a little better.”
“In all of living, have much fun and laughter.
Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured.”
“It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers.”
“Get on your knees and pray, then get on your feet and work.”
“Being humble means recognizing that we are not on earth to see how important we can become, but to see how much difference
we can make in the lives of others”
“Faith in something greater than ourselves enables us to do what we have said we'll do, to press forward when we are tired or hurt or afraid, to keep going when the challenge seems overwhelming and the course is entirely uncertain.”
Thank you President Gordon B. Hinckley.
You are the man of the hour.
The past couple of days I have read some really great
perspectives on marriage and love. When I was little I always thought I would
get whisked away from my life my some charming prince. He would be rich,
handsome and preferably actual royalty. Although my husband is pretty dang
handsome we are the opposite of rich and he is definitely not a royal. I think
people these days go in to marriage with the wrong expectations and when they
are not met they give up. Marriage is hard, it is rough and not for the faint
of heart. It is a journey and an adventure and at many times it is far from
perfect but it is worth it. When you look at marriage through Gods eyes you see
that it is not meant to be perfect but to perfect us.
This Sunday I went to church with such a bad attitude. Jon had to work, the time change kicked my butt and my hair was just not playing nice. All I could think about was the future, when I'm done with school, when Jon will have a job that won't take up our weekends, when we have little nuggets to love.... Our speaker must have been reading my mind cause all she spoke about was being happy NOW!
