A few of my favorite things - Book of Mormon

Bless our missionaries! Their faith and obedience. Speak the language of faith to your spouse when they are going through their “unbelieving” times. What a gift marriage is. A partnership centered on God

Newel k Whitney called as bishop in Ohio - we can go anywhere in the world recommended to the Lord

The lord wants us to know He will take care of our enemies we are to continue being true and faithful! Bearing witness of truth in all we do- and if necessary use words (as elder uchrtdorf says)

We are all stewards of what the Lord has blessed us with spiritually and temporally. We will answer for the job we have done.

Importance of record keeping. So grateful for early saints like John Whitaker who kept a record - for the good of the church!

A parents duty! It’s worth the effort and the work.

Strip yourselves from jealousies and fears! Continue in patience until ye are perfected!

What lack I yet! What God says to William He could say to us all! “You are clean, but not all. Repent therefore of the things which are not pleasing in my sight.”

We are called to be forerunners to Christ just as John the Baptist was!  To prepare the Kingdom of God so that Christ can come and reign!  That is our prayer!  To gather all who want to come- to come!  

Be not weary! Tribe of Ephraim- gather, hold the priesthood, perform temple ordinances! The world will fear (stand in awe) and those who follow Christ will come!

The lord requires the heart of the children of men. That is the tithing- that is how we repent! And God turns and forgives again and again

Compensatory blessings! Twinkled in the millennium to live 1,000 years with our families and other believers with God! Surround yourself with your wise! Be patient and look to become more who He needs us to be- the reward is the next life!

Earth renewed - celestialized. Every thing the saints bought will be theirs- an inheritance but the reward is after this life! Daily earnest seeking that God dwells in us

Acting no hypocrisy! If we are truly His then we do His will!

Bearing testimony to others blesses us! Obedience to God is the goal- angels see it and record it in heaven

Gird up your loins- be watchful! Be sober. Be ready to work- bring others to Christ!

Do not burry your talents, fear man- proclaim not in haste! The gospel! Be a point of contact in bringing all to a knowledge of our Savior

Peace is the gift in this life! Eternal life is the gift in the next! The reward for all we endure!

Repentance! We will confess and forsake and god will remember no more

Adversity- trials come 1- we’ve sinned and need correction 2- others have and we suffer along with them 3- THIS IS THE ONE WE FORGET, God has greater blessings than we can imagine waiting for us! This life is but a small moment- if we endure it well the joy comes in the next life!

We get a choice-  honor our covenants, or break them and be cut off.  Great examples of men who covenanted and then broke those covenants and others who honored them over and over, going from place to place honoring and giving their all to God.  For an EVERLASTING INHERITANCE.  "They will be my people and I will be their God."  What a reward that will be.  

Endure, eye single to the glory of God, broken covenants. It’s all about putting God first in our life. Placing him before everything! Every day every day every day!

John 15:2 “every branch that bears fruit He purges it, that it may bring forth more fruit!”

The lord provides according to our circumstances, our wants, and our needs! He is such a generous God

“You are in me, and I am in You”...”none that the Father hath given me are lost!”
