Encouragement

For those who are going through tough trials...here are some words of encouragement:

"Adversity is the refiner's fire that bends iron but tempers steel." James E. Faust, Ensign, Feb 1998, 2


"I promise you, as a servant of the living God, that every man and woman who obeys the commandments of God shall prosper, that every promise made of God shall be fulfilled upon their heads, and that they will grow and increase in wisdom, light, knowledge, intelligence, and above all, in the testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ. May God help each and every one of us who has a knowledge of the gospel, to live it, that our lives may preach its truth" (Heber J. Grant,Gospel Standards, p. 39).

Wonderful quotes. I especially like the first one.

Btw, please thank your husband again for taking care of an automobile ignoramus. Sometimes my ignorance about those things is truly embarrassing. Yesterday was just such a time.
