Life is for Loving: Who gets to blow out the candles?

Who gets to blow out the candles?

Cassidy and I wanted to be the first to announce our plans for the twins. We feel strongly that Cory and Misty should carefully plan to induce the babies in the late evening of some fine day in September. They should carefully orchestrate the deliveries so as to bring one child into the world just BEFORE midnight, and the other child just AFTER midnight, thereby providing a seperate birthday for each. Cassidy recently expressed her concerns about them not being able to have their own birthday candles to blow out for the rest of their conjoined lives... we feel confident that the above-mentioned plan will remedy any birthday-cake complications.

"Real charity is not something you give away; it is something that you acquire and make a part of yourself. Charity comes when we are kind to each other; when we don't judge someone else; when we simply give each other the benefit of the doubt or REMAIN QUIET. Charity is accepting someone's differences, weaknesses and shortcomings, having patience with someone who has let us down or resisting the impulse to become offended when someone doesn't handle something the way we might have hoped. Charity is expecting the best of each other"
(Elder Marvin J. Ashton, Conference April 1992).

"Charity is not an emotion or action. It is not something we feel or do. Charity is who the Savior is. It is his most defining characteristic. When we plead for charity, we aren't asking for lovely feelings toward someone who bugs us or has wounded us. We are actually pleading for our very natures to be changed; for our character and disposition to become more like the Savior's so that we literally feel as He would feel and thus do what He would do."
