YOUR GREATEST ASSETS

"Mothers and fathers, do the best you can, and remember that the greatest assets you have in this world are those children whom you have brought into the world and for whose nurture and care you are responsible." - Gordon B. Hinckley

"Little children are holy, being sanctified through the atonement of Jesus Christ." - Doctrine & Covenants 74:7

LIFT & HELP OTHERS

"I do not care how old you are, how young you are, whatever. You can lift people and help them. Heaven knows there are so very, very, very many people in this world who need help. Oh, so very, very many. Let's get the cankering, selfish attitude out of our lives and stand a little taller and reach a little higher in the service of others. As Browning said, 'A man's reach should exceed his grasp'.
Stand taller, stand higher, lift those with feeble knees,
hold up the arms of those that hang down.
Live the gospel of Jesus Christ. Forget yourself." - Gordon B. Hinckley

This is one of Jason's favorite things to do with Emma... AND... one of Emma's favorite things that her dad does with her. They are both smiling! May we all stand a little taller and strengthen each other in our valiant efforts to build His kingdom and serve one another! I am so grateful for all those who have helped in the service of my family - especially in our times of need, which have been many (such as this laborous moving experience!) Thanks to all of you!
