It is our solemn duty, our precious privilege-even our sacred opportunity-to welcome to our homes and to our hearts the children who grace our lives.

We must develop the capacity to see men not as they are at present but as they may become.

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

Spiritual strength frequently comes through selfless service.

The way to be with God in every season is to strive to be near Him every week and each day.

Our Heavenly Father can appreciate our love for Him by how well we serve Him and how well we serve our fellowmen.

Choose good friends. Friends help to determine your future. You will tend to be like them and to be found where they choose to go. Remember, the path we follow in this life leads to the path we follow in the next.
