A call for the world to return to Virtue!

"I truly believe that one virtuous young woman or young man, led by the Spirit, can change the world. But in order to do so we must return to virtue. Virtue is based on high moral standards. It encompasses chastity and moral purity. It is the accumulation of thousands of small decisions and actions. NOW is the time to prepare. We must engage in strict training by exercising more self discipline. A return to virtue must begin individually, in our hearts and in our homes. Lay aside the things of the world. Believe that ye must repent! Always remember (Jesus Christ) and keep his commandments. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, of good report or praiseworthy we seek after these things! LET VIRTUE GARNISH THY THOUGHTS UNCEASINGLY!" (Excerpts from Guardians of Virtue by Elaine S Dalton) 
What the world needs most right now is individuals, families, and communities who are willing to stand for virtue! To make a real difference in the world around you stand up for what you believe! In the Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ, in 2 Nephi 33:10 it says "And now, my beloved brethren, and also Jew, and all ye ends of the earth, hearken unto these words and believe in Christ; and if ye believe not in these words believe in Christ. And if ye shall believe in Christ ye will believe in these words, for they are the words of Christ, and he hath given them unto me; and they teach all men that they should do good."

Prayer is a Passport to PEACE!

Prayer is a gift given to us as a way to communicate our inner most feelings and desires to our creator and the creator of all the universe! Though at times we feel inadequate and not worthy of this gift I want to promise you that those times are when we need prayer the most! I want to declare that God, our loving Heavenly Father, loves each of us so perfectly and wants to hear from us and to help and guide us every day! I love this quote! 
"To those within the sound of my voice who are struggling with challenges and difficulties large and small, prayer is the provider of spiritual strength; it is the passport to peace. Prayer is the means by which we approach our Father in Heaven, who loves us. Speak to Him in prayer and then listen for the answer. Miracles are wrought through prayer." Pres. Thomas S. Monson
I know this is true and bear this witness in the name of Jesus Christ Amen!

Mercies in disguise


I love this song and the message it contains! I know that I have seen the Lord's hand in my life through the trials I have faced and think of them as some of my greatest blessings!  I hope as you go through the rough times that come with life you will turn to the savior of the world Jesus Christ and allow him to mold you into all you have the capacity to become! I know that the Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ is proof that God loves all of his children and wants to bless each of us everyday! Want to read it for yourself? Click here! :)

Families can be together forever!


I have a family here on earth. 
They are so good to me!
I want to share my life with them through all eternity!
FAMILIES CAN BE TOGETHER FOREVER!
Through Heavenly Father's plan
I always want to be with my own family and the Lord has shown me how I can! The Lord has shown me how I can!


 
 I know that God loves each and everyone of us! He shows us this love in many different ways! One of the ways he has shown his love for me is by sending me to a kind and loving family! They have taught me everything and are great examples to me of how to be more like Jesus Christ. I know that they aren't perfect, no family is, but I am eternally grateful for the strength that their love, support and prayers bring into my life! I know that God has a plan for each of us and that it is a plan of HAPPINESS! He teaches us more about this plan in The Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ! It supports the truths taught to us in the Bible and stands as a second witness that Jesus is the Christ and that God loves all of his Children!

All is well! :)

 
I hope you were touched as I was by this story. The courage and the strength that she radiates makes me want to be a better person. Throughout all of her trials both physical and spiritual she never lost hope! Her faith was only strengthened and her determination humbles me! I know that this life is the time for us to prepare to meet God and being the loving Heavenly Father that he is, he gives us every opportunity to grow closer to him. I know that he sent his son Jesus Christ to suffer and die for each of us individually so that he would know how to succor us or to bring us relief. I have felt the power of his love in my life and I know he is reaching out to you with his arms wide open to show you his love!
