Be not weary in well-doing. … Out of small things proceedeth that which is great. Behold, the Lord requireth the heart and a willing mind.

May we all make the journey to Bethlehem in spirit, taking with us a tender caring heart as our gift to the Savior.

Each heartfelt prayer, each Church meeting attended, each worthy friend, each righteous decision, each act of service perfomed all precede that goal of eternal life.

I believe that no concern of ours is too small or insignificant.

If ingratitude be numbered among the serious sins, then gratitude takes its place among the noblest of virtues.

Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with family and friends.

Remember that ofttimes the wisdom of God appears as foolishness to men, but the greatest single lesson we can learn in mortality is that when God speaks and a man obeys, that man will always be right.
