This past week I had turned my attention to learning more about charity. For most of my life I always thought “Charity suffered long and is kind.” Then when we were reading in 1 Corinthians chapter 13 in the very last verse: “… the greatest of these is charity.” In Moroni it also says that “And except ye have charity ye can in nowise be saved in the Kingdom of God.”
That was very powerful to me. You can have faith and good works, but if you do not have charity, you won’t be saved. So I’ve been pouring over everything I could get my hands on to learn more about Charity. In the Bible Dictionary it defines charity as “The highest, noblest, strongest kind of love.”
I want that love. I want to be able to love in Christ-like proportions. So, to help remind me I made this: 
This is my favorite quote on Charity by Elder Uchtdorf. I want to teach my children to develop charity in their lives and I want to mirror my thoughts and actions so that I can live a life full of Christ-like charity.

I'm with you babe. We'll develop more charity together so that we can always be together. The best way that we can come closer to our Savior is to love like He does. I know I've got a long way to go, but I want to make it there with you sweetheart. You're the best.
I need to do this. I used to think there was no way I could gain this, but the lesson plus the talk at by Sister Allred made me realize I can there by simple ways just persisting. Even if we're only the road but progressing that is important. We can do it!!!
