{ Speak Your Love }

This Christmas, mend a quarrel. Seek out a forgotten friend. Dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust. Write a letter. Give a soft answer. Encourage youth. Manifest your loyalty in word and deed. Keep a promise. Forgo a grudge. Forgive an enemy. Apologize. Try to understand. Examine your demands on others. Think first of someone else. Be kind. Be gentle. Laugh a little more. Express your gratitude. Welcome a stranger. Gladden the heart of a child. Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth. Speak your love and then speak it again.

~Howard W. Hunter

 

Thanks. Giving.

The blessings of our lives this very minute overflow to where sometimes, I have to stand back just a bit to truly grasp them all. I hope your Thanksgiving was warm and lovely and filled with everything that brings you happiness.

Thank you my dears, for being part of our world these past four years. Your friendship, comments and kindness have given us much to be grateful for.

{Diversity}

 
However capable and skillful an individual may be, left alone, he or she will not survive. When we are sick or very young or very old, we must depend on the support of others. There is no significant division between us and other people, because our basic natures are the same. If we wish to ensure everyone’s peace and happiness we need to cultivate a healthy respect for the diversity of our peoples and cultures, founded on an understanding of this fundamental sameness of all human beings.
