If you don't have the gift of a loving supportive family, be that gift for someone else. It doesn't have to be a relative, just someone you know who is alone or hurting over the holiday.

Some things you can only learn in the struggle. When it's easy, when everything is going your way, that doesn't take any faith.

If you give, you will be blessed.

Program your mind with what God says about you and a transformation will take place.

Quit worrying about how everything is going to turn out. Live one day at a time; better yet, make the most of this moment. It’s good to have a big – picture outlook, to set goals, to establish budgets and make plans, but if you’re always living in the future, you’re never really enjoying the present in the way God wants you to.

Believe that God is in control. There is no need to be stressed out or worried

Mormonism is a little different, but I still see them as brothers in Christ.
