“God is always trying to give good things to us, but our hands are too full to receive them.”

“God is always trying to give blessings to us, but our minds are usually too full to receive them.”

“In this freedom that we have received in our time, through our understanding of His divine plan for us, we stand in our full responsibility. Let us always stay close to the loving, caring hand of our Redeemer and our Savior to find safety and joy.”

“Giving jump starts our relationship with God. It opens our fists so we can receive what God has for us. ”

“The gods made our bodies as well as our souls, is it not so? They give us voices, so we might worship them with song. They give us hands, so we might build them temples. And they give us desire, so we might mate and worship them in that way.”

“When we open our hands and take that which is offered to us, we are not only receiving the thing offered, but we are receiving the person.”
