We're all just walking each other home

I never wish to hurt anyone in any way. I know I'll make mistakes, but at one point this week, I felt like putting my arm around everyone as if they were my own brothers and sisters, which hey, they actually are :) 

One of our temple sealers said, "Sometimes we come to the temple without questions or searching, but thoughts will come that should be recognized as answers."

In the novel Man's Search for Meaning, Viktor R. Frankl remarked, "Suffering in and of itself is meaningless; we give our suffering meaning by the way in which we respond to it... Love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of his personality. No one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him." P.S. ya'll should read Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis, too :)

Thoughts of Christ [my favorite kind] :

– Just think of it! He knows your name. More than that, He knows your goodness, pains, capabilities, fears, and weaknesses. Most of all, because He knows you for all that, He loves you.

– When everything is out of control, know that He is in control.

– Your joy should not come from your circumstances but from your efforts to be more Christ-like regardless.

– When a storm approaches, the eagle sets its wings so that the winds will lift him above the storm. Do we choose to take advantage of the winds in our storms by growing closer to the Lord and using the wings He gives us, or do we choose to get cold and let our testimonies dampen?

– When you're touched by an animal, embraced in a hug, nuzzled by a breeze, or kissed by a flower petal, you're touched by God.
