Make This World A Happy Place

As some of you may know, I was recently called to be a Relief Society teacher in my ward.  Do you know how long it has been since I have taught adults?  A long time.  And it has been even longer since I have actually read the manual.  In trying to do this thing without totally screwing up, I was reading through the George Albert Smith manual, I came across this amazing quote.  I wanted to put this up in my home, so I felt the need to make it into Subway Art.  This is my first foray into that world, but I think it turned out pretty well.  FYI, I used GIMP to make this. 

Isn't that quote just beautiful?  President Smith wrote it shortly after the end of World War II.  I think it's equally appropriate for today's world.  It really spoke to me, especially since I realized that George Albert Smith was called to be an apostle at age 33.  Guess how old I am.  I don't think I'll ever be as righteous and good and kind as he was, but I can bring {some} happiness into this sad world.

I think the art turned out pretty nicely too, even if it made me almost late to work today (that and the ridiculous parking situation . . . grrrrr).  I made it into a .png file with a transparent background, so you can change colors if you wish (I used a gradient fill for this version).

You can also make it pretty with digital scrapbooking, like this (paper courtesy of Shabby Princess--the Plentiful collection):

You should be able to click on these and download them if you wish.  The black & white and the rainbow one are .png files, and the golden version is a .jpg.  They should all be printable as 8x10's, but I hope there is enough resolution and margin for enlarging and/or cropping to other sizes.  I hope you can appreciate this quote as much as I do.  Please leave me a comment if you download it; I might consider making more.  :o)
