I have been finding some really great blogs lately and this is one thing that I would like to share with everyone. It is on Julie's blog and I thought it would make a good post since Christmas is a few days away, people may be getting a little stressed out and need to take a few moments to think about what Christmas is all about.
"This Christmas, 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."
*************
President Howard W. Hunter
Please take time out of your busy day to reflect on all of your blessings large and small. Share a smile with a stranger, a kind word with a friend, a hug with someone you love. You may never know how these little things may really brighten someone's day.
