Rise above the world

“As the Saints of the Most High we shall strive to ‘stand independent above all other creatures beneath the celestial world’ (D&C 78:14). Our only hope is to free ourselves from the bondage of sin, to rid ourselves from the chains of darkness, to rise above the world, to live godly and upright lives.

We can live in the world and still rise above.

What to do?

In any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing,

the next best thing is the wrong thing,
and the worst thing you can do

is nothing."    

 -- Theodore Roosevelt

Forgive

"He who cannot forgive others destroys the bridge over which he himself

must pass."

 - George Herbert

Where are you going......

"If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there."               - Lewis Carroll

Pick a pretty one until you decide the right way for you.

Fog

The fog comes on little cat feet.

It sits looking

over harbor and city

on silent haunches

and then moves on.

By Carl Sandburg



Opportunities to grow

"If you always look for people to serve, you will always feel the guidance of the Spirit in order to help them--there are five groups of people that will always need help--kids, less-actives, poor people, sick people and someone who needs a friend.  Just look for those groups and you will never run out of spiritual experiences and opportunities to grow."

 

“wake up every day and say "the Lord is going to give me direction today" and look for it--afterwards, write it down”  (Krista’s mission president)

 Making a difference, the work is important, so you can expect help in doing it.

The best ...

"Man finds it hard to get what he wants because he does not want the best;

God finds it hard to give because he would give the best and man will not take it."            - George Macdonald
