The benevolent bishop in Victor Hugo's Les Miserables wrote, in the margins, the thoughts he had as he read and meditated. At such a time he wrote the following:
"Oh, you who are!
"Ecclesiastes calls you the All-powerful; the Maccabees call you the Creator; the Epistle to the Ephesians calls you Liberty; Baruch calls you Immensity; the Psalms call you Wisdom and Truth; John calls you Light; the Books of Kings call you Lord; Exodus calls you Providence; Leviticus, Sanctity; Esdras, Justice; the creation calls you God; man calls you Father; but Solomon calls you Compassion, and that is the most beautiful of all your names."
In his talk, "Finding Joy in the Journey" http://lds.org/conference/talk/display/0,5232,23-1-947-26,00.html, President Monson said:
"Send that note to the friend you've been neglecting; give your child a hug; give your parents a hug; say "I love you" more; always exprss your thanks."
So you're invited to show some compassion. Go hug your children, hug your parents, and write that note. We love you, and thanks for everything you(family & friends) do for us.
Why the Les Mis theme? This month Tanner is in the Frontier High School production of "Les Miserables" It plays March 12-14. Mark your calendars. We will be attending the 13th.
