It's Valentines week, the time we think about the ones we love. I just got this quote in my e-mail today and wanted to share it and encourage you to make an extra effort especially this week to be charitable to everyone, no matter what.
I encourage you to make this little quote by Marvin J. Ashton (a general authority of the LDS church) your motto for this week:
Perhaps the greatest charity comes when we are Kind to each other,
when we don't judge or categorize someone else, when we simply give
each other the benefit of the doubt or remain quiet. Charity is
accepting someone's differences, weaknesses, and shortcomings, having
patience with someone who has let us down; or resisting the impulse
to become offended when someone doesn't handle something the way we
might have hoped. Charity is refusing to take advantage of another's
weakness and being willing to forgive someone who has hurt us.
CHARITY IS EXPECTING THE BEST OF EACH OTHER.
One of my favorite websites is a new one recently created by Shauna in Utah, www.joyfilledlearning.com. It's a place to post acts of kindness you see happen, or that happen to you, and to read of acts of kindness done to others.
In Kindness and Love,
Tammy
P.S. I'd love to get your comments. I'm new at this blogging thing and value your thoughts.
