December 30, 2008 Some have supposed that trials

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

“”Some have supposed that trials are reserved only for the disobedient. But the scriptures make it clear that even the humble and obedient will face tribulation. Experience is a great teacher, and sometimes our hardest experiences can be our greatest teachers (see D&C 122:7). This may be why we are commanded to give thanks for all things (see Eph. 5:20). Some blessings come to us painfully. But the Lord promises that ‘he who receiveth all things with thankfulness shall be made glorious’ (D&C 78:19).”

It’s refreshing to find…

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

Just thought you’d like to know how much one of your non-LDS subscribers is enjoying the WOW mail list. So much of what I read on the net is depressing, disheartening, cynical, or downright hostile; it’s refreshing to find your list’s encouraging, touching, and inspirational posts daily in my in-box. Keep up the good work, and God bless you.
Peace, love, and blessings from your sister in the compassionate Christ,

I am returning to church this Sunday…

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

Denis-
I have been receiving your daily quotes for a while now. I really enjoy them. I am an inactive member so this has been my limited exposure to the church other than old friends and a wonderful visiting teacher. I am returning to church this Sunday with the help of that visiting teacher. I send your messages on each day to a friend of mine. She really enjoys them.
Thanks for the inspiration.

I can Testify of it’s Truth

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

I myself am not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but I can testify of its truth. I am 17 years old, but due to the restraints set by my parents I cannot join the Church until i am legally an adult. I’ve wanted to be a member since I was 14, and i’ve struggled through tough times, but I love my family and the Church. I’ve been able to attend the 6 missionary lessons, when my friend’s sister was taking them, and I’ve been able to attend church (at the chapel) 5 times in my life. I know that the Church is true, i wish you the best in spreading the Gospel, because it can be hard at times, but it’s well rewarding.

I Love the WOW page!!  I am not active in the church, but trying to find my way back.  I just want you to know that your daily quotes have helped me immensely and I can’t even imagine what you have done for others like me.  I E-Mail your quotes on to my non-member friend and she loves them.  It is truly an inspiration to read your quotes every morning.  I look forward to them each and every day.  Thank you Denis.
