Thought of the Day

"Never did the Savior give in expectation of receiving. He gave freely and lovingly, and His gifts were of inestimable value. He gave eyes to the blind, ears to the deaf, and legs to the lame; cleanliness to the unclean, wholeness to the infirm, and breath to the lifeless. His gifts were opportunity to the downtrodden, freedom to the oppressed, forgiveness to the repentant, hope to the despairing, and light in the darkness. He gave us His love, His service, and His life. And most important, He gave us and all mortals resurrection, salvation, and eternal life.We should strive to give as He gave. To give of oneself is a holy gift. We give as a remembrance of all the Savior has given."

LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!!!

I might use that in RS. Some times I think people just don't "get it." Thanks for churning that up. It's so appropriate right now.
