President Gordon B. Hinckley's Challenge and Promise

President Gordon B. Hinckley said in a

worldwide leadership training meeting:

“I am convinced there is no other organization anywhere to match the Relief Society of this Church.

If they will be UNITED and speak with ONE VOICE,

Their STRENGTH will be INCALCULABLE!”

Relief Society - A Restoration of an Ancient Form

RELIEF SOCIETY

“A Restoration of an Ancient Pattern”


Although the name may be modern date,

the institution is of ANCIENT ORIGIN.

We were told by our martyred prophet

that the same organization EXISTED

in the church ANCIENTLY.”

Giving...

One of my greatest heroes in life...was Mother Teresa. She profoundly impressed on my mind...the VALUE of ONE SOUL...

I read these quotes years ago...from a little book called "Ancient Apostles" by David O. McKay "No man has come to true greatness who has not felt in some degree that his life belongs to his race, and that what God gives him He gives him for mankind."

"If any man seeks for greatness, let him forget greatness and ask for truth, and he will find both."

Secret to GREATNESS...
Referring to those who did great things in their lives, David O. McKay said of them..."Each one has given something of his life to make the world better. They did not spend all their time seeking only pleasure and ease, and a 'good time' for themselves alone, but found their greatest joy in making others happy and more comfortable. All such good deeds live forever, even though the world may never hear of them."

I saw this little video...and thought not only of Mother Teresa...but remembered these quotes...This man's example...of "giving" of his life was inspiring...
