Expect

Expect to have your hope rekindled. Expect your prayers to be answered in wondrous ways. The dry seasons in life do not last. The spring rains will come again.

Tuesday Tell All - Post Christmas

How was your Christmas? Do you have a favorite memory from it? Is there anything you would change for next year? When do you take your decorations down?

Simplifying

“We women have a lot to learn about simplifying our lives. We have to decide what is important and then move along at a pace that is comfortable for us. We have to develop the maturity to stop trying to prove something. We have to learn to be content with what we are.” 

~Marjorie Pay Hinckley

Love

‎"To love, and be loved, is to feel the sun from both sides."

OR

"To love, and be loved, is to feel the Son from both sides":)

What Can I Give Him?

"What can I give Him, Poor as I am? If I were a shepherd, I would give Him a lamb, If I were a wise man, I would do my part - But what I can I give Him, Give my heart."

 ~Christina G. Rossetti, 'In the Bleak Midwinter'

Christmas

"The way you spend Christmas is far more important than how much." 

~ Henry David Thoreau

Christmas, Giving & Sacrifice

 ~Gordon B. Hinckley~

~Corrie ten Boom

Tuesday Tell All - This Christmas

I love this quote about Christmas:

“This year, mend a quarrel. Seek out a forgotten friend. Dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust. Write a letter. Give a soft answer. Encourage youth. Manifest your loyalty in word and deed. Keep a promise. Forgo a grudge. Forgive an enemy. Apologize. Try to understand. Examine your demands on others. Think first of someone else. Be kind. Be gentle. Laugh a little more. Express your gratitude. Welcome a stranger. Gladden the heart of a child. Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth. Speak your love and then speak it again.” 

 ― Howard W. Hunter

So, what is something you want to change this Christmas?

Be True

‎"This above all: to thine own self be true." 

~wise words from William Shakespeare, Hamlet

Life's Challenges

"Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are."

~Bernice Johnson Reagon
