Continuing the Quote Corner

                                     "Give without remembering. Receive without forgetting." -Chad Hymas If i'm interpreting this quote right, i take it to mean not to keep score and not to feel like people owe you anything because you gave of your substance, time or anything to them.   And i love the receiving without forgetting, living in thanksgiving daily.  This photo reminds me of the sweet gesture of Lanning bringing home flowers for Valentine's day to fill my vase Lizzy gave me for Christmas.  And the little rose on the left was a sweet gesture from the Sunbeams class in primary.  In the background is a beautiful blue and white serving tray that Amy gifted me.  Gratitude is powerful in many ways.   

  "Today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope.  Look well, therefore, to this day." -Indian Proverb This quote has been on my mind lately. I really think it is true. If I'm making good choices this day, i remember the past with fondness and i recognize the good and i feel more hope for the future. In contrast, if i'm not making good choices this day, even with just allowing negative thoughts, regrets from the past creep in and fear and anxiety for the future do too. Makes me see the scripture "Choose ye this day whom ye will serve..." in a new way.  It doesn't matter so much what i chose in the past for good or bad, but this day is what counts.  Each day i want to choose to serve the Lord and not the distractions of the world.
