QUOTE OF THE DAY George Albert Smith
"We look upon every child that is born into the world, as a son or daughter of God, as our brother or our sister, and we feel that our happiness will not be complete in the kingdom of heaven unless we enjoy the companionship of our families and those of our friends and associates with whom we have become acquainted and in whose interest we give so much of our time on earth" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: George Albert Smith, p. 13-14). |
