We can learn spiritual lessons if we can approach suffering,

 sorrow or grief with a focus on Christ.  - Keith Edwards

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

Love

I’ve decided to stick with love. Hate is too great of a burden to bear.

Service

When a poor person dies of hunger, it has not happened because 

God did not take care of him or her.  It happened because 

neither you nor I wanted to give that person what he or she needed. 

 - Mother Teresa

Beginning

Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, 

anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.  - Carl Bard

- Nelson Mandela

Freedom

Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.

Obedience

When we love the Lord, obedience ceases to be a burden. 

Obedience becomes a delight. When we love the Lord, 

we seek less for things that benefit us and turn our hearts 

toward things that will bless and uplift others. - Joseph B. Wirthlin

Happiness

The happiest people I know are those who lose themselves in the service of others...

By and large, I have come to see that if we complain about life,

 it is because we are thinking only of ourselves. - Gordon B. Hinckley

Trials

Our difficulties can increase our strength and compassion. 

Noble characters do not alone bear trouble, they use it.

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, 

while loving someone deeply gives you courage. - Lao Tzu

Friends

Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget. - Anon

Temptation

It's easier to resist at the beginning than at the end. - Leonardo da Vinci

Families

Families are fragile, and the list of things I cannot fix is long, 

but I can make and keep sacred covenants, and I will, because I know

 that the list of things my Heavenly Father can fix is infinite. - Angela Gubler

Adversity

Adversity introduces man to himself. 

Success

God didn't send you here to fail, he sent you here to succeed.-  Lauren Jennings

Choices

Our lives are nothing but a series of choices – and that you always, always,

 have the chance to choose a different path.  - James A. Owen
