Charity, 1 Chorinthians 13:4

As I prepare for trek I have been constantly reminded of the fact that I need to continue to further develop this virtue in my own life. I just ask that as I share information on here and links and documents that you keep a charitable heart and use kind words. If you choose to use any of this info please know that it has been collected through long hours of prayerful study and searching. I have been praying on behalf of my immediate family and the youth in our Trek family that I might be The Lords hand in helping to help them gain from this experience the things that The Lord has intended for them. I pray for us all that we will be blessed for our efforts and that we will be able live with grateful, charitable hearts as we journey together. Much love to you brothers and sisters, Sis Beckstrom “Too often, charity is extended to another when his actions or conduct are acceptable to us. The exhibition of charity to another must not be dependent on his performance. It should be given because of who we are—not because of how we behave.” —H. Burke Peterson, "Our Responsibility to Care for Our Own," Ensign, May 1981, 82 “Our words, like our deeds, should be filled with faith and hope and charity, the three great Christian imperatives so desperately needed in the world today. With such words, spoken under the influence of the Spirit, tears can be dried, hearts can be healed, lives can be elevated, hope can return, confidence can prevail. … May we all rejoice in the thought that when we say edifying, encouraging things unto the least of these, our brethren and sisters and little ones, we say it unto God.” —Jeffrey R. Holland, "The Tongue of Angels," Ensign, May 2007, 18
