And mending too,
Are menial tasks
I have to do...
But loving my children
And making them smile,
Makes everything else
All worthwhile.
No man achieves his supernal, exalting status or worthy fatherhood except as a gift from his wife.
***President Boyd K. Packer
(Ensign May 1998)
The word "HELLO" means:
H=How are you?
E=Everything all right?
L=Like to hear from you
L=Love to see you soon
O=Oh, and don't forget to write....
A girl asked a guy if he thought she was pretty,
He said...no.
She asked him if he would want to be with her forever...
and he said no.
She then asked him if she were to leave would he cry,
and once again he replied with a no.
She had heard enough. As she walked away, tears streaming down her face, the boy grabbed her arm and said....
You're not pretty....
you're beautiful
I don't want to be with you forever....
I NEED to be with you forever.
And I wouldn't cry if you were to leave.....
I'd die....
If you are ever plagued with doubt,
And question whether God's about,
Try thinking on some simple things;
You'll be surprised the peace it brings--
A sleeping child; A summer's day;
A puppy, awkward in its play;
The clean, washed air that follows rain;
A diamond-frosted window pane;
An apple tree all pink and white;
The stillness of a starlit night;
A fire crackling on the hearth;
The smell of freshly spaded earth;
A trail you knew once long ago;
A picket fence high-capped with snow;
A song your mother used to sing--
Why, you can pick most anything
And you will find your answer there--
It's still God's World -- He's everywhere.
"So frequently we mistakenly believe that our children need more things, when in reality their silent pleadings are simply for more of our time."
**President Thomas S. Monson
(Ensign May 1994)
