“When we have sampled much and have wandered far and have seen how fleeting and sometimes superficial a lot of the world is, our gratitude grows for the privilege of being part of something we can count on-home and family and the loyalty of loved ones.

We learn that nothing can fully take the place of the blessed relationship of family life.” KnowsWorldMeanSometimesHomeTogetherGrowsDutyGratitudeBlessedBoundsPrivilegeLoyaltyBelongingLoved OnesSuperficialFleetingFamily LifeHome And Family Author:Thomas S.

“We laugh, we cry, we work, we play, we love, we live. And then we die. ... And dead we would remain but for one Man and His mission, even Jesus of Nazareth. ... With all my heart and the fervency of my soul, I lift up my voice in testimony as a special witness and declare that God does live. Jesus is His Son, the Only Begotten of the Father in the flesh. He is our Redeemer; He is our Mediator with the Father. He it was who died on the cross to atone for our sins. He became the firstfruits of the Resurrection. Because He died, all shall live again.” MenHeartDoeSoulPlayDiesFatherJesusVoiceSinLaughingSpecialCrySonMy HeartCrossesDiedMissionsFleshMy SoulWitnessLiftsLife And DeathOne ManResurrectionTestimonyCrucifixionRedeemerFerventMediatorsNazarethGreat Christian Author:Thomas S.

“The gospel is a thing of joy. It provides us with a reason for gladness. Of course there are times of sorrow. Of course there are hours of concern and anxiety. We all worry. But the Lord has told us to lift our hearts and rejoice. I see so many people...who seem never to see the sunshine, but who constantly walk with storms under cloudy skies.
