G.C. Droplets April 2016 -He Will Place You on His Shoulders and Carry You Home

G.C. Droplets April 2016 -He Will Place You on His Shoulders and Carry You Home

G.C. Droplets October 2013 -We Never Walk Alone

Heavenly Father loves you--each of you. That love never changes. It is not influenced by your appearance, by your possessions, or by the amount of money you have in your bank account. It is not changed by  your talents and abilities. It is simply there. It is there for you when you are sad or happy, discouraged or hopeful. God's love is there for you whether or not you feel you deserve love. It is simply always there. -Thomas S. Monson

There will be times when you will walk a path strewn with thorns and marked by struggle. There may be times when you feel detached--even isolated--from the Giver of every good gift.

G.C. Droplets October 2013 -Claim the Blessings of Your Covenants

We sometimes have a tendency to be very critical of ourselves.
