Quotes to Inspire

Pythagoreans Celebrate Sunrise

2/29/2020

"If sunrise could be witnessed but once a year, who would be abed on the morning of that more than imperial pageant; yet is the splendor less, because almost every day it streams across the sky?...

"The fault of spiritual poverty is in ourselves, not in our surroundings...the eye must be clarified to see the vision, the ear opened to hear the beatific tidings."

--W.H. Milburn

I loved this quote shared by Lisa Underwood:

"Let us learn of the handiwork of God by the study of nature, search out her flowers, her moods, her laws;

"Let us study to improve our thoughts, reaching up toward our Heavenly Father, praying for the inspiration of the Holy Ghost;

"Let us improve the language in our homes and among our children, that our words be not idle, complaining, nor vain, but, as nothing can be lost, cheerful, hopeful, intelligent, reflecting a charitable spirit.

"Let us open the books of life and salvation and study also the great authors, poets, and painters, that our minds may be clothed with intelligence and our hearts abound with human feeling..."

--Bathsheba W. Smith

If you are looking for a curriculum guide, this sounds like a good one!

Plucking the Fowl

I was reminiscing with my family this morning about living in the 'olden days' when there were no skinless, boneless chicken breasts to cook with. I remember a RS homemaking night that taught us how to remove bones from chicken, but it was too hard. I rarely cooked chicken recipes.

Then my 98 year old mother posted this in our family group:
"My mother had to clean the insides out of the chicken (after my dad killed it and hung it up to bleed). Then she defeathered it, cut it in pieces and cooked it. The defeathering was before the gutting. I never learned to cook at home. Wonder why?"

If there is nothing else in your life today that you are grateful for, take a moment and be grateful for boneless, skinless chicken breasts!

(Unless you are a vegetarian, of course. If I lived in my mother's day, I think that's exactly what I would have been. Or starved.)
