Sacrifice Quotes
-
Sick or well, blind or seeing, bond or free, we are here for a purpose and however we are situated, we please God better with useful deeds than with many prayers or pious resignation.

Our family is the focus of our greatest work and joy in this life; so will it be throughout all eternity.
Russell M. Nelson
