courage for the week 1.2.11

02 January 2011

Something new at 320 Sycamore in 2011 is what I am calling “courage for the week.” It may be a quote, an article, a scripture, a video~hopefully something that inspires you & me as we begin the week. Because sometimes when I am looking over the week on Sunday night I can feel very overwhelmed…

Here is one of my very favorite quotes:

  3. I love that quote. It reminds me of another conference address, in which we were reminded that while we were busy offering charity to our fellow man, there were incredible blessings for offering charity at home--to our children and (probably especially) our husbands. This is a good reminder to me to implement charity at home this week. Thank you!

  21. I think that might sum it all up for the love of Christ. That is wonderful! And it can be done (might have to start w/ baby steps) what a better time than now to be better and change. Thank you for that.
