The Best New Year Perspective

Thoughts For A New Year
As everyone is setting goals and looking forward to a bright new year,

the following quote by Howard W Hunter is an all time favorite of mine for New Years.

It is packed full of wisdom.

Every Christmas and/or New Year, I use this quote in some way...

a card, in a lesson I teach, or in my own personal study.

It is the best counsel for Christmas and for living the entire year.

This is the perfect example of keeping Christmas in our lives year round.

I keep this up on my refrigerator permanently.

The counsel in this quote has changed my life!

"This Christmas (New Year), mend a quarrel.

Seek out a forgotten friend.

Dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust.

Write a letter. Give a soft answer.

Manifest your loyalty in word and deed.

Keep a promise.

Forgo a grudge. Forgive an enemy. Apologize.

Try to understand.

Examine your demands on others.

Think first of someone else.

Be kind. Be gentle. Laugh a little more.

Express your gratitude. Welcome a stranger.

Gladden the heart of a child.

Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth.

Speak you love and then speak it again."

~President Howard W Hunter~

Happy New Year!
