\u201cPeople are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges.<\/em>\u201d ~ Joseph F. Newton<\/p>\n

Creating and maintaining positive connections with our family and friends is the focus of God\u2019s plan for His children.<\/p>\n

He knows our greatest joys in life come from our relationships with others:<\/p>\n

Falling in Love<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Watching a Child Grow<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

even Lunch with a Friend.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0But like everything worthwhile, it takes effort \u2013 and time.<\/p>\n

\"\"Good relationships only happen when charity and forgiveness are applied.\u00a0 We must love as much as we want to be loved.\u00a0 And give more mercy than we expect to be given.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd he commanded them that there should be no\u00a0contention one with another, but that they should look forward with one\u00a0eye, having one faith and one baptism, having their hearts\u00a0knit<\/span> together in unity and in love one towards another<\/strong><\/em>.\u201d\u00a0 ~Mosiah 18:21 (emphasis added)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My challenge for you this week is to do your knitting! \u00a0Say a kind word, comfort a friend, \u00a0hug a child, and re-act with love not anger.<\/p>\n
