Snowflake temple--sister temple of the Winter Quarters Temple |
We have had months of trial and disappointment just like many others. Believe me, I don't feel like I am the only person on earth that feels almost desperate at times. I choose to rely on the heritage of faith I know will not desert me. So here ar a few lessons learned straight from my journal!
- The Lord does not expect that which we cannot achieve. God will not require more than the best we can give, but he does require our best.
- D&C 121:45 ...let virtue garnish thy thought unceasingly; then shall thy confidence was strong in the presence of God;.... This means thinking in a hopeful and positive way. This promotes faith. Thinking in a fearful and anxious way invites contention and allows Satan to magnify our fears.
- Four things you need to say often:
- I love you
- I'm sorry
- Yes dear
- We can't afford that
- The road to exaltation is marked by 3 things:
- Covenants Kept
- Service Given
- Love Extended
- Spiritual growth is a choice to choice process--Learn to recognize the Lord's approval.
