Though we cannot understand “the meaning of all things,” we do “know that God loveth his children” because He has said, “Behold, this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man. Heavenly Father is able to accomplish these two great goals—the immortality and eternal life of man—because He is a God of creation and compassion. Creating and being compassionate are two objectives that contribute to our Heavenly Father’s perfect happiness. Creating and being compassionate are two activities that we as His spirit children can and should emulate."
--Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Happiness, Your Heritage", Ensign, Nov 2008, 117–20

Quote of the Day!!

"And now, I hope it is clearer why part of that hope in Christ is hope in the future, a future that includes resurrection and salvation and exaltation. He is my hope on rainy Monday mornings, my hope on dark nights, and my hope in the face of death and despair."
--Chieko N. Okazaki, "Raised in Hope", Ensign, Nov 1996, 89

Wisdom

It seems the more we see our imperfections, the closer we are to Christ. He helps us to see our weaknesses so we can turn them in to strengths. It's when you don't notice your imperfections that you need to worry and work on some humility. also when we are able to see our imperfections we are able to see just how much ...the Savior is doing to pull us up to perfection, which will therefore help us feel closer to Him.

Spritual Slump

I realized yesterday with the help of my dear friend Susan that I have been in a Spiritual slump for the last 6 months. I got out of the habit of Reading my scriptures and saying my prayers daily. so today I have started saying my prayers and reading my scriptures however I have decided to read my scriptures with a purpose and not just to say that I have read them, I have decided to pick a topic once a weeks and read a few scriptures from that topic each day and then on Sunday read a conference talk or ensign article on that subject.

This week my topic is Prayer. :)
