More quotes by Marvin J. Ashton
A friend is a possession we earn, not a gift.

Good cheer is a state of mind or mood that promotes happiness or joy... With God’s help, good cheer permits us to rise above the depressing present or difficult circumstances. It is a process of positive reassurance and reinforcement. It is sunshine when clouds block the light.
Marvin J. Ashton
Commitment is a word that cannot stand alone. We must always ask, Committed to what? . . . . let us be committed to . . . using Jesus Christ as our master teacher.
Marvin J. Ashton

Sometimes when family members least deserve love, they need it the most.
Marvin J. Ashton
Victories in life come through our ability to work around and over the obstacles that cross our path. We grow stronger as we climb our own mountains.
Marvin J. Ashton
How often have we ourselves said or have heard others exclaim in times of crisis or trouble, 'I just don't know where to turn'? If we will just use it, there is a gift available to all of us-the gift of looking to God for direction. Here is an avenue of strength, comfort, and guidance.
Marvin J. Ashton
