Beyond Grateful

By
I feel a strong urge to shout out my gratefulness to God. I keep thinking today of how blessed I am. I feel so incredibly blessed. I am so happy that I have the knowledge that God is watching over me and helps me find my way. I am so overjoyed that I know, without a single doubt, that He is there for me and everyone else. My crazy life has been in shambles for a long time and yesterday felt like it couldn't get much worse. But today I feel so calm and ready to face my future with optimism. I could have chosen different ways to deal with my problems, but I am glad that I chose this one. I know that I would not feel this peaceful feeling if I chose any other way. I understand better when the prophets in the scriptures talk about having a desire to proclaim the gospel to everyone. Why wouldn't you want to feel such happiness? Any worldly way cannot bring ultimate and long term happiness. So I want to repeat what those prophets have said, "Come unto Christ." He has gone through such horrible agony for us. Why not let Him help you? He is there, always willing.

I don't know why I haven't been reading this blog. I should have been. But it's nice to see that you are happy, and it's because you're doing the right thing and God is blessing you for it. I'm glad you have the peace and joy from Him. You deserve it more than anyone I know.

A New Favorite Scripture

By
The young women recite this scripture every Sunday along with their theme. I really like it so it's my new scripture to memorize. Therefore, I would that ye should be steadfast and immovable, always abounding in good works, that Christ, the Lord God Omnipotent, may seal you his, that you may be brought to heaven, that ye may have everlasting salvation and eternal life, through the wisdom, and power, and justice, and mercy of him who created all things, in heaven and in earth, who is God above all. Amen. Mosiah 5:15

He Has A Plan

By
The pandemic of COVID-19 has wreaked havoc all over the world. My family is starting the fourth week since the state government put in force a Stay-At-Home order. We can only leave our homes if we have an "essential" job, if we need to buy essential items/food, or if we need to take care of someone. My five kids have gotten into a routine of waking up, doing school work, seminary work, reading, then free time. My husband is working from home and has multiple virtual calls throughout the day. It was a lot to get used to. Compared to many others, these changes have not been that hard on our family. Actually, most of the time I really enjoy everyone home. When they aren't using their limited electronic time, they have used their imaginations to think of creative things to do. Yes, I had to take one son to the ER last week because he fell and got a concussion, but we are truly very blessed. I know there are many that are suffering through this pandemic for many reasons.
