This is my first Katherine Center book and I loved it! It was full of wit and went far beyond the fluff of what many to consider of this genre. So many great insights into what love really is and what really brings joy to life.

Quotes by Lori L. Jackson  (?)

“When we look for the ways that God loves us, we will find them.”
Lori L. Jackson, Hoping for Happy: Discovering Joy Amid the Lemons

“The problem with postponing our happiness with checklists is it leads down a road to anything but lasting joy.”
Lori L. Jackson, Hoping for Happy: Discovering Joy Amid the Lemons

“Slowly I began to understand that the plans God has for us don’t just include “good” things, but the whole array of human events … I remember my mom saying that many people look for miracles — things that in their human minds “fix” a difficult situation. Many miracles, however, are not a change to the normal course of human events; they’re found in God’s ability and desire to sustain and nurture people through even the worst situations. Somewhere along the way, I stopped demanding that God fix the problems in my life and started to be thankful for his presence as I endured them.”
Lisa Beamer, Let's Roll!: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Courage

“Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted. And experience is often the most valuable thing you have to offer.”
Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture

“You may have confidence in the Lord’s service. The Savior will help you do what He has called you to do, be it for a time as a worker in the Church or forever as a parent. You may pray for help enough to do the work and know that it will come.”
Henry B. Eyring, Because He First Loved Us

“Our Heavenly Father, who loves us completely and perfectly, permits us to have experiences that will allow us to develop the traits and attributes we need to become more and more Christlike. . . . As we understand this doctrine, we gain greater assurance of our Father's love. We will each face times of difficulty, and the question is not when we will face them but how we will face them.”
James B. Martino

“Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he’s been robbed. The fact is that most putts don’t drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to just be people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is like an old time rail journey…delays…sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling burst of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride.”
Jenkin Lloyd Jones
