Seeds of Divinity

Hello family:

The following quotation from President Faust is short in words but long in meaning:

"If we are constantly aware of the seeds of divinity in us, it will help us rise above earthly challenges and difficulties."

James E. Faust, Liahona, July 2001, 53-56

May we always remember that we are indeed divine offspring of God, inherently divine in origin and potentially divine in destiny if we choose to accept the gift of eternal life our Father offers to us.

Love,

Dad/Mark

Overcome Selfishness through Service

Hello Family:

This week's quotation is from James E. Faust (Ensign, Dec 1999):

"At the heart of the message of the Savior of the world is a single, glorious, wonderful, still largely untried concept. In its simplest terms the message is that we should seek to overcome the selfishness we all seem to be born with, that we should overcome human nature and think of others before self. We should think of God and serve Him, and think of others and serve them."

Thank you all for the many, many ways you have given service to each other, to us as your parents and to so many others. May the Lord bless you for your goodness and charity.

Love,

Dad/Mark
