Today we had such a wonderful Sacrament meeting. Tracy Riley gave a talk on charity. She had the most amazing quote by Elder Ashton. I loved it. I copied it down and wanted to share it with you. At this time of year when we start thinking about goals and what not, it is a wonderful bit of food for thought.
"Perhaps the greatest charity comes when we are kind to each other, when we don't judge or categorize someone else, when we simply give each other the benefit of the doubt or remain quiet. Charity is accepting some one's differences, weaknesses, and shortcomings; having patience with someone who has let us down; or resisting the impulse to become offended when someone doesn't handle something the way we might have hoped. Charity is refusing to take advantage of an other's weakness and being willing to forgive someone who has hurt us. Charity is expecting the best of each other."
Love and appreciate all that you do for us and each other. Our family is so blessed. Hope you are enjoying this lovely time of year when the hustle and bustle is suspended for a moment, and the new year has not yet been born.
