My Post Christmas Wish

The following quote is by Howard W. Hunter and is great counsel for the New Year..... "This Christmas(and for 2008), mend a quarrel. Seek out a forgotten friend. Dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust. Write a letter. Give a soft answer. Encourage youth. Manifest your loyalty in word and deed. Keep a promise. Forgo a grudge. Forgive an enemy. Apologize. Try to understand. Examine your demands on others. Think first of someone else. Be kind. Be gentle. Laugh a little more. "Express your gratitude. Welcome a stranger. Gladden the heart of a child. Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth. Speak your love and then speak it again....Christmas is a celebration, and there is no celebration that compares with the realization of the true meaning of Christmas--with the sudden stirring of the heart that has extended itself unselfishly in the things that matter most." We sure hope you had a very Merry CHRISTmas, cause we sure did!!!!!!
