My Christmas wish

This is my wish for all of us for this Christmas. It is a quote from President Hunter in the last public talk he gave before he passed away.
" This Christmas, mend a quarrel, Seek out a forgotten friend, Dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust, Write a letter, Give a soft answer, Encourage youth, 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 your love and then speak it again."
I pray that the heartache and the contention, will leave and be replaced with love and respect. That the hard hearts will be softened, that frogiveness will be given and old wounds will heal. We are an eternal family, we all need to treat each other with respect and kindness, most of all we need to love each other UNCONDITIONALLY!
