need a pick-me-up?

I have been thinking and praying for my sister and her new twin babies these last few days. I am so glad to be her sister and am so proud of her strength and faith. Love you Liza.


Here are a few words of wisdom and encouragement I have read in the last few days...


"The Divine Shepherd has a message of hope, strength, and deliverance for all. If there were no night, we would not appreciate the day, nor could we see the stars and the vastness of the heavens. We must partake of the bitter with the sweet. There is a divine purpose in the adversities we encounter every day. They prepare, they purge, they purify, and thus they bless."James E. Faust



"You have access to the lighthouse of the Lord. There is no fog so dense, no night so dark, no mariner so lost, no gale so strong as to render useless the lighthouse of the Lord. It beckons through the storms of life. It seems to call, 'This way to safety; this way to home.' " Thomas S. Monson


"Always there are those angels who come and go all around us, seen and unseen, known and unknown, mortal and immortal...God never leaves us alone, never leaves us unaided in the challenges that we face. Nor will he, so long as time shall last, or the earth shall stand." Jeffrey R Holland
