No matter what circumstances you sisters experience, your influence can be marvelously far-reaching. I believe some of you have a tendency to underestimate your profound capacity for blessing the lives of others. More often than not, it is not on the stage with some public pronouncement but in your example of righteousness and the countless gentle acts of love and kindness done so willingly, so often on a one-to-one basis.
James E. FaustHere then is a great # truth . In the # pain , the # agony , and the # heroic endeavors of life, we pass through a # refiner 's # fire , and the insignificant and the unimportant in our lives can melt away like dross and make our # faith # bright , # intact , and # strong .
James E. FaustThe dignity of self is greatly enhanced by looking upward in the search for holiness. Like the giant trees, we should reach up for the light. The most important source of light we can come to know is the gift of the Holy Ghost. It is the source of inner strength and peace.
James E. Faust
