QUOTE OF THE DAY Howard W. Hunter
"I think it is incumbent upon us to rejoice a little more and despair a little less, to give thanks for what we have and for the magnitude of God's blessings to us, and to talk a little less about what we may not have or what anxiety may accompany difficult times in this or any generation" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Howard W. Hunter, p. 69). |
