“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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.
