By becoming the answer to someone’s prayer we often find the answer to our own.”

“We are not perfect. The people around us are not perfect. People do things that annoy, disappoint, and anger. In this mortal life it will always be that way.

Remember, heaven is filled with those who have this in common: They are forgiven. And they forgive.”
