Gratitude is a mark of a noble soul and a refined character. We like to be around those who are grateful. They tend to brighten all around them. They make others feel better about themselves. They tend to be more humble, more joyful, more likable.
Joseph B. WirthlinThe Lord will never forsake or abandon anyone, You may abandon him, but he will not abandon you. You never need to feel that you are alone.
Joseph B. WirthlinAs with the butterfly, adversity is necessary to build character in people. As you overcome adversity in your life, you will become stronger.
Joseph B. WirthlinIf television viewing choices serve as a valid measure of our society, they who choose evil surely are more numerous than they who choose good.
Joseph B. WirthlinAnother activity that can detract us from the proper way is watching television excessively or viewing improper movies. While fine productions on these media are uplifting and entertaining, we need to be very selective in choosing what we see and how much of our time such an activity deserves. Our precious time must not be diverted to the sideline attractions of vulgar language, immoral conduct, pornography, and violence.
