As we give presents at Christmas, we need to recognize that sharing our time and ourselves is such an important part of giving.

What a wonderful time it is for each of us to do his or her small part in moving the work of the Lord on to its magnificent destiny.

Choose your friends carefully. It is they who will lead you in one direction or the other. Everybody wants friends. Everybody needs friends. No one wishes to be without them. But never lose sight of the fact that it is your friends who will lead you along the paths that you will follow.

Limitless is your potential. Magnificent is your future.
