What You Seek Is What You Find!

I was reading an article from Meridian Magazine earlier today. There was a quote by Gordon B. Hinckley that just really struck me. He said, “If husbands and wives would only give greater emphasis to the virtues that are found in one another and less to the faults, there would be fewer broken hearts, fewer tears, fewer divorces, and more happiness in the homes of our people.” ( Teachings of Gordon B. Hinckley , Deseret Book, p. 322)

I always love the way President Hinckley could say just the right thing, and in such an understandable way. You know this is so very true. If we look for the faults in others, we are certainly going to find them. If we look for the good, we will find that, too. So what if every once in a while, my sweetheart leaves a pair of socks on the floor in front of his chair. He has spent an entire day working- doing the job of three people, hours fighting traffic, and he just flops in the chair and wants his feet to be cool from the searing heat. Most often, too, the reason he leaves them is that he changes into his work clothes after dinner and procedes to go out and work on a project: mowing, working on the pool, pouring cement, helping a son fix up an old pick up truck. Are the socks heavy...No! Is there any reason I cannot help him out...No!

This also goes for our neighbors, our kids, our sisters and brothers. Look for the good. You are sure to find it!!
