“Do not think that saintliness comes from occupation; it depends rather on what one is. The kind of work we do does not make us holy but we may make it holy. However “sacred” a calling may be, as it is a calling, it has no power to sanctify.” KindMayDoeWorkSleepDivineHolyCallingEatingTasksSacredDivinityBlessSanctify Author:Meister Eckhart
“God is not calling us to win the world and, in the process, lose our families. But I have known those who so enshrined family life and were so protective of "quality time" that the children never saw in their parents the kind of consuming love that made their parent's faith attractive to them. Some have lost their children, note because they weren't at their soccer games or didn't take family vacations, but because they never transmitted a loyalty to Jesus that went deep enough to interrupt personal preferences.” WorldKindChildrenMadeEnoughGamesJesusWinningLostProcessParentLosesQualityKnownSawsCallingNotesLoyaltySoccerOur FamilyAttractiveMissionaryVacationPreferenceFamily LifeProtectiveConsumingQuality TimeSoccer GamePersonal PreferencesFamily VacationConsuming Love Author:David Shibley

We don’t need to be sustained by our wards to be sensitive.” NeedsKindRealChristianWaterCallingSensitiveThoughtfulBe KindCompassionateBishopsBaptismAssignments Author:Chieko N. Okazaki
