Sunday Thoughts


"As you walk your various paths, walk with faith. Speak affirmatively and cultivate an attitude of confidence. You have the capacity to do so. Your strength will give strength to others. Do not partake of the spirit so rife in our times. Rather, look for good and build upon it. There is so much of the strong and the decent and the beautiful to build upon. You are partakers of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The gospel means 'good news.' The message of the Lord is one of hope and salvation. The voice of the Lord is a voice of glad tidings. The work of the Lord is a work of glorious accomplishment."
--Gordon B. Hinckley

How fitting this Sunday thought is for this time of tear, esp. the part of looking for the good and building upon it.

President Hinckley has some of the BEST quotes. Our lesson was on hope and faith today as well. Something I definitely needed to hear.

Great thoughts! I always love your Sunday thoughts. Thanks!

And I am with you on the not knowing what day it is! I have felt completely lost all week, although today, Sunday, it finally feels like things are more "normal".

I am so sorry you have not been sleeping well. That is so hard nad I hope you get back on schedule soon!

I love President Hinckley's optimism! He always made me feel like I could do whatever he was asking. I want to look for good and build upon it. Great thought.

I read this twice yesterday. I love the "good news" and sometimes get lost in the programs and trying to accomplish those kind of tasks and forget how wonderful the "good news" is.

Before I saw who said that I was thinking it sounded like Pres. Hinckley. That is some good stuff to think about. Thanks. I always need help being positive after the holidays are over.

I like "your strength will give strength to others". There are a few people in my life that I know I pull strength from and build upon that. Great thoughts as usual!
