“By assigning our women to do visiting teaching, we give them the opportunity to develop the pure love of Christ, which can be the greatest blessing of their lives.”

Peace can come to both the giver and the receiver as we follow the promptings of the Spirit to serve one another.

For me I feel close to the Savior when I can do in a small way for someone else, what He would do if He were there. In a way, that’s what being an instrument in all about . . . to make it possible for His love to reach more of His children.

Being pessimistic and negative about our experiences will not enhance the quality of our lives. A determination to be of good cheer can help us and those around us to enjoy life more fully.

Developing a cheerful disposition can permit an atmosphere wherein one’s spirit can be nurtured and encouraged to blossom and bear fruit.

The greatest help you will ever have in this life is the Holy Ghost! Cultivate him as a friend and constant companion.

We can have unity in diversity and diversity in unity. We don’t have to be like one another to enjoy sisterhood.

As our knowledge is converted to wisdom, the door to opportunity is unlocked.

It is vital that each sister have visiting teachers,to convey a sense that she is needed, that someone loves and thinks about her. But equally important is the way the visiting teacher is able to grow in charity.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places . . . He destined us for adoption as his children through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace that he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.

Know that every breath is a miracle and every moment a blessing and you will achieve your dreams.

How do you change your behavior? Change what you worship

Human feeling is like the mighty rivers that bless the earth: it does not wait for beauty – it flows with resistless force and brings beauty with it.

I will pray, therefore, for blessings on my friends, even though they cease to be so, and upon my enemies, though they continue such.

A contented mind is the greatest blessing a man can enjoy in this world.

God bless the boys from Memphis, blue suede shoes, and Elvis.

So we find messages of self-salvation extremely attractive, whether they are religious (Keep these rules and you earn eternal blessing) or secular (Grab hold of these things and you’ll experience blessing now).
