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.

The future is in your hands, the outcome is up to you.

Each of us has much for which to be grateful if we will but pause and contemplate our blessings.

The most constant thing is change.

May we realize how close to us He is willing to come, how far He is willing to go to help us and how much He loves us.

By choosing our path, we choose our destination.

In the performance of our responsibilities, I have learned that when we heed a silent prompting and act upon it without delay, our Heavenly Father will guide our footsteps and bless our lives and the lives of others. I know of no experience more sweet or feelings more precious than to heed a prompting, only to discover that the Lord has answered another's prayer through you.
