The Hope of Spring


I love these quotes by James E. Faust. Look for the beauty all around you, in your garden,in your home, in our meeting places. These are great gifts of God and they will rest us and renew us spiritually, if we take time to look and acknowledge, appreciate and be thankful.

“Develop an appreciation for the great gifts of God as found in nature: the beauty of the seasons, the eloquent testimony of God in the sunrises and sunsets, the leaves, the flowers, the birds, the animals.”
James E. Faust


“Without question, we need to be informed of the happenings of the world. But modern communication brings into our homes a drowning cascade of the violence and misery of the worldwide human race. There comes a time when we need to find some peaceful spiritual renewal. I acknowledge with great gratitude the peace and contentment we can find for ourselves in the spiritual cocoons of our homes, our sacrament meetings, and our holy temples. In these peaceful environments, our souls are rested. We have the feeling of having come home.”
James E. Faust
