I love Quotes, especially ones from the prophets. When I was in high school I found about ten to twenty quotes that I just LOVED and really wanted to live by. So I stuck them on my door and looked at them everytime that I walked into my room. When I went away to college and I would start to struggle with somthing I would always go back to my quotes. I even hung them on my dorm room wall and door thanks to my kind roomates. So I thought that I should share a few here too. They are just short and sweet but very powerful. Enjoy :)
"It doesn't matter if you see the savior in this life; what matters is if others see the savior in your life."
"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in him, if we will pray to him, if we will live worthy of his blessings, he will hear our prayer." -President Hinkley
"I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may be; for I have learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our disposition and not upon our circumstances." -Martha Washington
"Everything will be ok in the end. If it is not ok now, then it's not the end."
"Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results." -Anonymous
Ok only TWO more, you can do it!
"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intent of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming, WOW! What a ride!" -Gordon B. Hinckley
"These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." (John 16:33)
So I hoped these quotes gave you a pick me up like they have given me. I really needed it tonight. We are SO blessed. We have every hope and desire that we could ever want out of life right now, but yet I am definitely not being as sincere and as grateful as I could be. But I AM grateful for this season and chapter in our lives and I hope I can always remember the savior and the special gift he has given to us, because without him this life would be impossible.
Well that is all, have a great night!
P.S. One week till our first anniversary!!! So excited to go to Vegas on a much needed get away!
“Don’t give up, boy. Don’t you quit. You keep walking. You keep trying. There is help and happiness ahead—a lot of it—30 years of it now, and still counting. You keep your chin up. It will be all right in the end. Trust God and believe in good things to come.”
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm feeling down I remember this quote from Elder Holland. I usually shed a few tears (good ones) and then feel better about life.
I loved all of these quotes. This is one of my personal favorites that helps remind me of my true goals in life:
ReplyDelete"I don’t want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk’s lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor’s children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone’s garden. I want to be there with children’s sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."
-Sister Marjorie Pay Hinckley
