our Savior and our Redeemer,
the Son of God, who came to earth
and walked the dusty roads of Palestine -
the Son of God-to teach us 

the way of truth and light and salvation,
and who, in one great and glorious 

act offered an atonement for each of us.
He opened the way of salvation 

and exaltation for each of us,
under which we may go forward 

in the Church and kingdom of God.
Be not faithless, 

but believe in the great and wonderful
and marvelous blessings of the Atonement.

Those who grieve frequently f

ind themselves alone.
Missed is the laughter of children, 

the commotion of teenagers,
 and the tender, loving concern 

of a departed companion.
The clock ticks more loudly, 

time passes more slowly,
and four walls can indeed 

a prison make.
I extol those who, 

with loving care and 

compassionate concern,
feed the hungry, 

clothe the naked, 

and house the homeless.
He who notes the sparrow's fall 

will not be unmindful of such service
Gordon B. Hinckley

Faith in something greater 

than ourselves enables us to do 

what we have said we'll do,
to press forward when 

we are tired or hurt or afraid,
to keep going when the 

challenge seems overwhelming
and the course is entirely uncertain.
Gordon B. Hinckley

"Try a little harder to be a little better."
Gordon B. Hinckley
