Lessons Learned



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:
1. I love you
2. I'm sorry
3. Yes dear
4. We can't afford that
• The road to exaltation is marked by 3 things:
1. Covenants Kept
2. Service Given
3. Love Extended
• Spiritual growth is a choice to choice process--Learn to recognize the Lord's approval.

We too can weather the storms of life.  Just remember your covenants and keep your chin up.
