So, this month, I am going to try REALLY hard to focus on charity. I think it is a great way to forget about myself and focus on others. And at the same time, rejoice in love for others.
It's that "L" word that always gets me. there are so many different aspects of it. so for now, at least the next little bit, i'm going to focus more specifically on charity.
Keeping that in mind-- here is my favorite quote on what charity is and can be:
"Perhaps the greatest charity comes when we are kind to each other, when we don’t judge or categorize someone else, when we simply give each other the benefit of the doubt or remain quiet. Charity is accepting someone’s differences, weaknesses, and shortcomings; having patience with someone who has let us down; or resisting the impulse to become offended when someone doesn’t handle something the way we might have hoped. Charity is refusing to take advantage of another’s weakness and being willing to forgive someone who has hurt us. Charity is expecting the best of each other." Marvin J. Ashton, Ensign, May 1992

Great quote. I feel like framing it for our wall.
