Quotes and Poems

So I have decided to share with you all the quotes, poems, and stories I get at Young Womens. They probably wont be in the order of the time I got them but probably in a random order. Also a lot of these don't say who the author is so you know. So here it goes.

"God bless you to realize where you came from and the privileges that are yours. If the veil were rolled back and you could just see one glimpse of god's great eternal plan concerning you and who you are, it would not be hard for you to love him, keep his commandments, and live to be worthy of every blessing that he has had for you since before the foundations of the world were laid."
Elder LeGrand Richards

"The nearer man approaches perfection,the clearer are his views, and greater his enjoyments, till he has overcome the evils of his life and lost every desire to sin."
Joseph Smith

These quotes are on the same hand out. Also the lesson that week was on Eternal Perspective.

Two frogs fell in a deep bowl. One was an optimistic sole, but the other took the gloomy view. "We shall drown" ,and he cried adieu So with a last despairing cry, he flung up his legs and said goodbye. The other frog quoted with a grin, "I can't get out, but I won't give in!I just swim around till my strength is spent, then I will die the more content." Bravely he swam till it would seem, his struggles began to churn the cream. on top of the butter at last h e stopped, and out of the bowl he gaily hopped. What is the mortal? "Tis easily found-if you can't hop out, keep swimming around.

This was also all on the same card. And the lesson on this Sunday was on not giving up.

"The priesthood of god gives light to his children in the dark and troubled world. Through priesthood power, we can receive the gift of the holy ghost to lead us in truth, testimony,and revelation.This gift is available on an equal basis to men, women, and children. Through the blessing of the priesthood, we can be equipped with the whole armor of God that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. This protection is available to Every one of us."
Elder Robert D. Hales

The Sunday this hand out was given the lesson was on the Priesthood.

So these are all the quotes from Young Womens. There is one quote I would like to share though that isn't from Young Womens.

"We look not at the things which you call seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things that are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal."
Aunt Beast from A Wrinkle in Time

Well that is all the quotes I have to share for now. I will blog some time later.
