"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 11: Hearts Full of Love Without Judgment

  • President Dieter F. Uchtdorf gave wise council in April 2012 when we said this regarding pacing judgment on others. “This topic of judging others could actually be taught in a two-word sermon. When it comes to hating, gossiping, ignoring, ridiculing, holding grudges, or wanting to cause harm, please apply the following: Stop it! It’s that simple. We simply have to stop judging others and replace judgmental thoughts and feelings with a heart full of love for God and His children.”

  • This week look at others without judgment. Look at other with unclouded glasses. Smile warmly at all you see and be conscious to look for the good in all you see.
