The Power of Kindness

Two favorite quotes from George Albert Smith from ‘Chapter 21: The Power of Kindness”

“Kindness is the power that God has given us to unlock hard hearts and subdue stubborn souls and bring them to an understanding of His purposes.”

And quote number two,

“There are those among us today that have gone astray, but they are the children of our Lord and he loves them. He has given to you and to me the right to go to them in kindness and love and with patience and with a desire to bless, seek to win them from the mistakes that they are making.”

Teachings of George Albert Smith, Chapter 21

Integrity Amplifies the Spirit

Elder M. Russell Ballard taught us that,

“Integrity simplifies our lives and amplifies our sensitivities to the Spirit and to the needs of others. It brings joy into our lives and peace to our souls—the kind of joy and peace that comes to us as we repent of our sins and follow the Savior by keeping His commandments.”

Whoa. [Family Blog]

Olivia woke up when it was snowing outside. She looked out the window and said, “whoa.” I grabbed the camera to see if I could catch her fun voice on camera.

Another Doctor Visit [Family Blog]

After throwing up three times yesterday, Olivia woke up with a fever this morning. We were able to see her pediatrician today. Unrelated to the cold from earlier this week, Olivia has a really bad sore throat. Apparently the infection in the throat can make some kids puke up their milk. Interesting. I wish we could have gone out and played in the gorgeous snow but we had a pretty relaxed afternoon at home so Olivia could get some rest.

She fell asleep before we left our apartment’s parking lot!

Still asleep inside the doctor’s waiting room.

The snow has been not stop for two days.
