Sunday’s Scripture

Wherefore, there must be faith; and if there must be faith there must also be hope; and if there must be hope there must also be charity.

~~Moroni 10:20

Sunday’s Good Words

183rd Semiannual General Conference

This is weekend like the first weekend in April I look forward to more than any other throughout the year.  This is the weekend that I am most spiritually recharged.  Read and hear more about it here. And these are some of the things I learned and loved about this weekend:

“Look ahead and believe.” Edward Dube

“As we live the law of tithing, we often receive significant but subtle blessings.” David A. Bednar

“Believe in miracles.” Jeffrey R. Holland

“Fatigue is the common enemy of us all-–so slow down, rest up, replenish, and refill.” Jeffrey R. Holland

“The miracle of becoming one [in unity] requires the help of heaven, and it takes time.” Henry B. Eyring

“The decisions you make in your daily life will determine what happens to you later.” Bonnie L. Oscarson

“A testimony, like your body, needs to be in shape if you want it to endure.” Richard J. Maynes

"As you lose your life in ... service ... Satan's temptations lose power in your life." Richard G. Scott

“Repentance is not punishment. It is the hope-filled path to a more glorious future.” Richard G. Scott

"A fundamental question remains to be answered ... shall I falter, or shall I finish?" Thomas S. Monson

"Difficulties allow us to change for the better." Thomas S. Monson

“Don’t forget to look up.” Adrián Ochoa

“It’s not just the thoughts of our hearts that are important but the 'intents.' ” Terence M. Vinson

“You are never too young to learn, never too old to change.” Russell M. Nelson

(This post represents both Saturday and Sunday; it’s that good!)

The Perfect Two

There are two weekends in the year that I know will always be perfect.  Will always be inspiring.  Will always lift me up.  Will always teach me.  One weekend is in April and one is in October.  This past weekend was one of those weekends.  This past weekend was General Conference for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  These are just a few of the things that spoke to me:

• I need to do better and be a better person;
• Obedience brings blessings;
• Be kind;
• The Lord is bound (Doctrine &Covenants 82:10; a favorite scripture, heard it more than once)
• God’s light is real and full of hope!

This weekend didn’t disappoint.  It is always hard to see it end.  But the good news is only 181 days until the next perfect weekend!

The Moon

#21

Today my thankful nod goes to the moon and today is the perfect day to be thankful for the moon because tonight we will enjoy a full moon in all its brightness.  When I look at the moon I know that what I see anyone of my family can see too.  When I see the moon the moon see me and you and you! 

Love the moon!

Sunday

#14

I'm thankful for Sunday. I'm thankful that no matter where I am in the world (that's the whole world) I can attend church with people who believe just like I do and do the same things I do each Sunday; who are all just friends I haven't yet met.  This is a blessing for which I'm eternally grateful.

I have no problems. 

Once I turn a problem into a situation, 

I can do something about it.

Situations are easy to deal with. 

Problems are hard to fix!

We can't always choose our journey;

But we can choose our attitude!

Amen.

"When we come to the judgment bar of God, we will be unable to deny the fairness of the test.  We are what our choices have revealed us to be; that is the purpose of our free agency, and it achieves that purpose perfectly."  ~~Orson Scott Card

The choices we make,

Become our habits.

The habits we form,

Become our traditions.

The traditions we maintain,

Become our culture.

Our culture is who we are!
