Your Financial HELP Strongly Requested

Dear Friends,
I haven't opened myself up very much on here as this is a site for YOU!  I blog in other places. But, I feel to share a little with you in hopes that your heart will be turned towards a very important cause; moms in need.  This is not for me - this is for scholarship money being requested to provide an opportunity for single-mothers to attend a 2 yr. college and improve their chances of a better life for them and for their children.

One Great Thing...

"One great thing the Lord requires of each of us is to provide a home where a happy, positive influence for good exists.  In future years the costliness of home furnishings or the number of bathrooms will not matter much, but what will matter significantly is whether our children felt love and acceptance in the home.  It will greatly matter whether there was happiness and laughter, or bickering and contention."

"There has never been and there never will be a satisfactory substitute for the home established by the God of Heaven.  If this nation is to endure, the home must be safeguarded, strengthened, and restored to it's rightful importance."  -President Benson

Thanks to all of you who are striving for these lofty ideals.  It's not always easy but the quest is worth it.  And, we know that the Lord will help us all along the way - not just in the end.  He desires to partner with us in raising these special souls in truth and light. 

Blessings to you all.
Heidi

Spiritual Influence

"Spiritual Influence is the product of disposition and living.  No one ever acquires it who does not want it and live for it.   it is in reality the Spirit of God manifest through man.  We often call it testimony because it is characterized by a deep and abiding conviction of the existence of God and the truth of his gospel.  It is the expression of perfect faith and a sincere love for God's children.  If our young people could but know of its worth, I am sure they would strive for it." President Stephen L. Richards, CR, Oct. 1943
