"When we experience our own difficulties—large or small—an important thing for us to remember is that we are far more likely to work through the difficulties we face if our lives, hearts, and faith are centered on Jesus Christ. Life will be more peaceful for us if we accept our circumstances as they are and then we go to work to address those that we want to change."

"God, our Father, your Heavenly Parent, in all His love and wisdom has handcrafted a blanket of covenants, commandments, and promised blessings to warm us, keeping us comfortably safe in a sometimes uncomfortable, cold world! Are we using the gift the way it was intended? Or has it been put on the shelf, collecting dust? The wear and tear of keeping commandments are pleasing to God. He sees this as an acceptance of His gift! Using it helps us to come to know Him, love Him, and appreciate the supreme designer’s hands."

No, we cannot fix every problem, and it is not always good for the other that we fix her or his problems. But my ethical duty is defined by the confrontation with the actual needs of those before me. I am the one with the resources (or not) to respond to the call."
