A few of my favorite things - Book of Mormon

So many who were seeking the Savior. The Shepherds, the Wisemen, Simeon, Anna- all who knew what the signs were and went with Haste to where he was, following the star, or to the temple. What do you seek?  

What have you done in your life because God commanded you to? Have you ever taken the blame for something because you wanted to protect or sheild someone else? Struggles and trials are not a sign that God wants you to fix something. That the works of God might be made manifest What has God done that has been impossible in your life (what miracles has He worked)? Willingly submit- marriage, parenth...

Just as with Cain and Abel, Jacob and Esau... God knows if He is our priority. He knows our heart. He never turns from us! We need to repent often and check our hearts! 

"It is significant that the Savior chose to appear to the people at the temple. It is His house. It is filled with His power. Let us never lose sight of what the Lord is doing for us now. He is making His temples more accessible. He is accelerating the pace at which we are building temples. He is increasing our ability to help gather Israel. He is also making it easier for each of us to become spi...

Joseph Smith History 1: 15- 20 Illustrates the way Satan presents himself, and the way our Heavenly Father and the Savior present themselves, their fruits. There are two distinct choices. The enemy is Satan. We can find God in the temple. He is the way to peace, to light, to progression.  

3 in the scriptures means Divine, or complete.  We have the promise that God will confirm all truth in the mouth of two or three witnesses.  The God head is 3 people. Jonah was in the belly of the whale, cried out to God from the "depths of Hell" and was "vomited" by the fish back onto dry land.  Alma the younger tells his son Helaman he was 3 days in the "darkest abyss." When he se...

God will not remove "punishment" consequences of our actions. He wants us to learn and to grow and to CHOOSE to pair with Him. Our Prophets "roar" His message to the world. Whether they hear it or not! God's law makes life easier. Gives us peace, His enabling power, and ultimately a life with Him.  

Joel 2:3 "The land is as the garden of Eden before them and behind them a desolate wilderness."  Pres Nelson Oct 2022 Conf "My dear brothers and sisters, so many wonderful things are ahead. In coming days, we will see the greatest manifestations of the Savior’s power that the world has ever seen. Between now and the time He returns “with power and great glory,” 1 He will bestow countless priv...

God showed Nebuchadnezzar 3 times He is the only God. First through Daniel and Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego eating the food they are used to for 10 days and the King proving them. He found them far superior.  Then through testing the magicians, the sorcerers, all his "wise" and seeing who could find out his dream and then tell him what it meant. God shows Daniel the dream and tells him the...

As parents, as missionaries, in callings...we are the shepherds. We are called to go after the sheep. To speak the words God calls us to speak! We are accountable to deliver God's message so we stand blameless before God. We can't control if they hear. We each get to answer how deep we want to be. Ankle, knee, thigh- or immersed in His living water. Water that brings life to the desolate land, to...

Jerimiah is weary with preaching and feels no one is listening. Do you ever feel that way as a parent? Baruch is asked to write the words of the prophet and go and read them in the ears of the people, since Jerimiah is in prison. Do you think he was afraid? He does it! Isn't that what we are asked? As parents, as followers of God- take the words of His prophets, the words of God to the hearing of...

Follow the prophet! Pres Nelson just said in conference the exhausting thing is to run around the world searching for what will make us happy! It doesn’t exist! Gods plan is the only lasting happy! How grateful I am for prophets! For Jeremiah who gave his life doing Gods will.

Isaiah 59: 21 “My spirit that is upon thee and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, sainthood the Lord, from henceforth and forever.”

We are the bride, He is the bridegroom- Isaiah 56:5 “I give in my house…a place and a name…an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.”

Is Jesus glorified in you? Does your life preach a sermon of who you follow? He has graven us on the palms of His hands and He will save our children!

“Whenever any kind of upheaval occurs in your life the safest place to be spiritually is living inside your temple covenants.” Pres Nelson Oct 2021

The frustration of being a parent, teaching your children, having them turn away. Nothing can separate us from Gods love but we will eat the fruit of our doings.

To the tree to the tree to the top of the tree!

"When obedience ceases to be an irritant and becomes our quest in that moment God will endow us with power"  Ezra T. Benson

Early will I seek thee! God has spoken once- twice I have heard this- that power belongeth to God! Psalms 62:11

When have you trusted God and He came through? How have you seen the hand of God in your life?

What kind of friend are you? The Savior is our ultimate friend.

Who am I (Pres Nelson has asked us to ask the Lord what she thinks of us)

Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the Lord and to do it and to teach in Israel! We as parents do this! It is a war! We are Gods army He will help us accomplish miracles.

How long is the influence of a righteous king?
