Sometimes we feel small. We compare ourselves to the world’s standards and wonder when we’ll become our best selves. We get lost in the shifting ideals of change that surround us. But when we remember our purpose we have peace. Listen to this song and remember the purpose of life. To Be Like Him By […]
God is mightiest of all. Satan uses fear to hold me down so that he seems mighty, but now that I no longer partake in anything scary I see Satan for who he is; that he’s very influential but that he cannot change me, I must do that. Satan’s magic trick of controlling me through […]
I feel happiness and peace. My home is calm and quiet. My life includes tranquillity. I sit here in my chair listening to peaceful piano music. Much beauty is outside including blue sky. Per is baking a yummy dinner and watching TV with his Bluetooth headphones. I can tell that Fluffy feels perfectly content. In […]
My greatest hope is that everything I say or blog about helps someone. I absolutely loved what Jeffrey R. Holland said about when we face trials, or challenges, or burdens, or feel sad or even broken. He gave a talk called Broken Things to Mend and his words were very heartfelt and encouraging. My utmost […]
I was drifting off to sleep again when many thoughts and images came into my mind at 1:21 am and woke me up. My mind was filled with Lehi’s Dream about his vision of the tree of life. And then all of the words to ‘The Light He Gives’ filled my mind, as if to liken […]
Wanna know how the Lord is improving me? I did something very hard for me today and afterwards pursed my lips to hold back tears. In times past I would’ve thought something negative like, “I hate this!” and it would’ve brought on more negative thoughts like, “This is terrible!” and “Why?!!”, and negativity would’ve ruined […]
Most people didn’t revere Jesus until He was dead; during His lifetime most people hated Him. Upon studying His life is when people revered Him. Studies revealed that: Jesus was sinless; Jesus’ disciples taught His words and those words were recorded and are called scripture; Prophets testified of Christ’s infinite Atonement and that made us […]
I just read this in Alma: ”Therefore, it is expedient that there should be a great and last sacrifice, and then shall there be, or it is expedient there should be, a stop to the shedding of blood; then shall the law of Moses be fulfilled; yea, it shall be all fulfilled, every jot and […]
“My son, peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment; And then, if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high; thou shalt triumph over all thy foes. Thy friends do stand by thee, and they shall hail thee again with warm hearts and friendly […]
I metaphorically stood at a crossroad this morning of either doubting or believing something. Worry was in my heart at the prospect of it being untrue. I felt sadness and turmoil while lying in my bed thinking about it, and the idea of it being false troubled me considerably. While lying in bed I grabbed […]
Easter, my favorite day of the year! Today all Christians celebrate that Jesus Christ rose from the tomb! I’m thankful that Christ overcame death so that I, too, (and all of us) will live again eternally! Rejoice, The Lord is King! Rejoice, the Lord is King! Your Lord and King adore! Mortals, give thanks and […]
Can a person be too spiritual? The task of the spiritually minded is to overcome the world to be spiritually centered, like the Savior. (Spiritual people do their best to see, feel, think, and act like God—and not just on Sunday but always.) “Always” is the key to goodness but is “always” too much? Perhaps, to worldly […]
I felt bummed and thought bummer things. Only listen to the Lord repeated again and again in my mind and I thought ya but He’s not talking, the adversary is. Then it occurred to me, the adversary’s voice is very pronounced in your mind because you listen to him all the time. The Lord’s voice […]
The words to this song are beautiful and I share them with the hope that they’ll uplift you: Peace in Christ There is peace in Christ When we learn of him Feel the love He felt for us When he bore our sins Listen to his words Let them come alive If we know Him […]
Conditions of parts of the world are chaos. Some lives are experiencing much turmoil. Volatile things are in the air. Where can peace be found? I believe peace is found in the message of this video.
I love this message of hope in having help and getting relief in our burdens because it’s so true! When nothing else helps, this method never fails. I know all too personally of experiencing the very scary days and nights when my life was unraveling because of MS. Many debilitating symptoms happened to me within a few […]
Two goals of my life are to let go of my ego (pride) and have none, and to love no matter what is encountered. Any form of anger or anything that causes me to consider myself is pride. (“How dare they do that to ME.”) It’s not about me but them. “Ye have heard that it hath […]
Thinking back to the first year I got MS and the last nine years causes me to think of peace. When my life was turned upside down by MS peace was the last thing on my mind. I wanted my normal, what I knew and the status quo but I got turmoil, disruption and new. […]
Early this morning I dreamed this dream: People’s earthly faith became heavenly belief and they were each surrounded with a force field that protected them. Their faith made them righteous, holy, and able to withstand evil without fear. They happily lived their lives and knew in whom they trusted. “And it came to pass that […]
Whatever I say is said because I care, not because of ulterior motives or hidden agendas. My only hope is that what I say helps someone in some way. The thought might be I don’t believe it. No one is like that! and I say, “Believe it because it’s true.” Some people might say heart-felt words but then not really […]
How can I not bear my testimony on Fast Sunday when love is in my heart for Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ because of all they’ve done for me? My testimony is reflected in this statement by C.S. Lewis: “Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, […]
The thought in my mind this morning was ‘Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is the Christ.” When Christ comes again everyone will remember Him and feel, based on what they believe, happy or ashamed. I’m thankful for the reminder that it’s all about Jesus Christ. The focus is not that […]
My feelings were sad all day. Yesterday, the all too familiar voice in my mind whispered to me something that I told myself wasn’t true but a small part of me believed it, and it made me sad. Today, bummer thoughts were in my mind all day and said damning things and by evening time I’d had it. […]
Meditating and quieting the mind have always puzzled me because I wondered if I was doing them right. I believe I AM doing them right but it’s a little different as a Christian. Meditating To me, meditating is two things: praying and pondering. Praying is protection, or being armed if you will, against the unsavory things in life. Prayer is […]
The idea to ‘Focus Only On the Good’ has helped me SO much. To: Focus only on positive thoughts (I can’t control what thoughts enter my mind, but I can control what I continue to think about. If a negative thought enters my mind it’s me who chooses to think more negative things and dwell […]
