"We are all in this together. We need each other. Oh, how we need each other. Those of us who are old need you who are young, and hopefully, you who are young need some of us who are old...We need deep and satisfying and loyal friendships with each other. These friendships are a necessary source of sustenance. We need to renew our faith every day. We need to lock arms and help build the kingdom so that it will roll forth and fill the whole earth."

Operation SMILE

{ Our Relief Society Service Challenge }
 
Sisters we invite you to find the joy in a simple smile over the next few months
 
A smile costs nothing, but gives much.
It enriches those who receive it, without making poorer those who give
It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes last forever.
None is so rich or so mighty that he can get along without it and none is so poor but that he can be made rich by it.
A smile creates happiness at home, fosters good will in business, and it is the countersign of friendship.
It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and it is nature's best antidote for trouble.
Yet it can't be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value until it is given away.
Some people are too tired to give you a smile.
Give them yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give.
 
 
Week 1: Men are that they Might Have JOY
  • Read 2 Nephi 2:25.
  • List 10 things that bring the greatest joy to you and place them where you can see them each day.
  • Try to recall these things throughout the week and allow a sincere smile to your face each time you think of the items on your list.
