A few of my favorite things - Book of Mormon

Liberty jail. So hard to know God could intercede in our lives and spare us from heartache and trial and yet often He doesn’t! God loves us where we are but He does not intend to keep us that way! (Brad Wilcox) he will make of us more!

The gift and blessing of the law of tithing!

Check our covetousness, the littleness of our souls- and be all into the weighty matters of the kingdom! Here I am Lord- send me!

Name of the church, reemphasized by elder Anderson last conference. Importance of the temple emphasized by Pres Nelson. Adam ondi Ahmen waiting for the lords second coming

David Patten called on a mission- then shot and killed by the mob- I am positive he is serving a mission! Many are called but few are chosen- many of the 12 were excommunicated and others called to replace them. The lesson is to pair with God every day! Plead for his help that we not fall prey to our pride

Even Joseph smith had to search the words of Isaiah and pray for understanding! Search the scriptures there are mysteries found therein! The biggest “mystery” is Christ, His mission, His love.

Thomas Marsh called as president of the quorum of the 12- to admonish and lead out! There were negative feelings for the prophet and satan would take control and use those- leading to the extermination order! Yet 20 years later Marsh repents and whole heartedly is forgiven

For there are more treasures than one for you in this city

Easter Sunday! The gifts Joseph Smith asked for are poured out and given! How has God manifest himself to you? how have you heard His voice in the temple?!!

We go forth in His name, armed with His power! The world will know it’s His work!

The prophet prays for him, his family, those close to him, past prophets, the sick, the poor, his persecutors, the lamanites, the Jews- basically everyone to hear this glorious message! To come be in Gods fold and with the dead be caught up in the clouds to meet him and establish Zion.

Temple dedicatory prayer. Beautiful the words asking the Lord consecrated their sacrifices and sanctify His Holy house! That we may learn and be educated by Him.

Blessing to Lyman Sherman who was doubting himself and the calling he was just given. Love that he is forgiven and told to be at rest and resist no more Gods voice. In other words get to work!

Priesthood power- God's power!  What have you been blessed with in your life because of the priesthood?  

Gods assurance- gods grace! He calls and qualifies us if we humble ourselves and seek Him first!

Zions Camp.  All the 12 apostles were on this march, the first quorum of the 70 was also all on this march.  CONTINUE!  Put one foot in front of the other and do what God asks!  That is the charge.  Not putting it off, not waiting for more...but acting TODAY!  What great examples for us! 

We are stewards over all God has blessed us with! We will be judged by how we gave and used what He gave us. It is never a wrong thing to give!

Zions March! Find 500, or 300, or 100…God will prevail! Go’s fights the battle! We obey every word so we are part of His team- known by his name!

Church courts designed with high council. Such a loving system set up hoping for the best of the accused.

The lands in Zion will be those saints in the millennium. God is the judge- seek for redress but then have faith and trust He will work out all for our good. Pray they will have their hearts softened.

Refining! Those lands are theirs! They became sanctified through their trials!  We need to be unpolluted- the Savor of the earth.  That comes through refining.  

Missionary Work! Preach the gospel and if necessary at times, use words!

All we suffer here God will make up for, more than we can imagine in the next life! He is working all things for our good!! It’s hard to give thanks in trial and adversity but I know people who have done just that! It’s amazing

Wisdom! Gods inspiration through the spirit! What a gift these saints left us! Their sacrifices have blessed us so much

Whom the lord loves He chastens. Are you grateful for that chastening? Do you embrace His refining us? I’m trying to learn to! I know God works all things for our good!
