FAVORITE QUOTES

My wife is going thru some tough times - we all go through them.  But here is a quote that was custom made for tough situations.  Sometimes, during our darkest hours, we need to cling to the good times and the bursts of light we have been given when we are prone to say, "My God, my God.  Why hast thou forsaken me!!".

I have been there twice as I have been through personal Gesthemanes - but have never lost the faith.  God will push us to our limits in order to try and test us so that we can find our limits - so that when judgment is passed on our lives and spirits, we will be constrained to exclaim, "It is just!".

I have liked a quote from General Conference:  "Doubt your doubts...."

This new b-day present is even better:

"Never doubt in the dark what God told you in the light."

I guess I have traded up in favorites.

  1. I like one that President Monson has frequently referred to:

    The Scottish poet James Barrie wrote, “God gave us memories, that we might have June roses in the December of our lives.”

  2. John 8
    10 - When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw not but the woman, he said unto her, "woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
    11 - She said, "No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her,
    "Neither do I comdemn thee: go, and sin no more."
