GOOD THOUGHTS

SHARING OUR THOUGHTS, FEELINGS, AND DESIRES WITH GOD THROUGH SINCERE AND HEARTFELT PRAYER SHOULD BECOME TO EACH OF US AS IMPORTANT AND NATURAL AS BREATHING AND EATING.

SEARCHING, PONDERING, AND APPLYING THE WORDS OF CHRIST AS TAUGHT IN THE SCRIPTURES WILL BRING WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE BEYOND OUR MORTAL UNDERSTANDING.

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT STEPS WE CAN TAKE TO STRENGTHEN OUR LIVES AND REMAIN FIRMLY ATTACHED TO THE FOUNDATION OF THE SAVIOR IS TO WORTHILY PARTAKE OF THE SACRAMENT EACH WEEK.

WORTHILY PARTAKING OF THE SACRAMENT STRENGTHENS OUR PERSONAL CONNECTION TO THE FOUNDATION ROCK, EVEN TO JESUS CHRIST


ONE OF THE GREATEST BLESSINGS WE CAN OFFER TO THE WORLD IS THE POWER OF A CHRIST-CENTERED HOME WHERE THE GOSPEL IS TAUGHT, COVENANTS ARE KEPT, AND LOVE ABOUNDS.

Obedience to the law of chastity will increase our happiness in mortality and make possible our progress in eternity.

simply stated, there are lessons we must learn and experiences we must have.

As we seek to increase our love for God and strive to love our neighbor, the light of the gospel will surround and uplift us.

THIS IS MY WORK AND GLORY- ELDER M. RUSSELL BALLARD

The power of the priesthood is a sacred and essential gift of God.
It is different from priesthood authority, which is the authorization to act in God's name.
The authorization or ordination is given by the laying on of hands.
The power of the priesthood comes only when those who exercise it are worthy and acting in accordance with God's will.

Brothers and sisters, as the literal spirit children of our loving Heavenly Father, we have unlimited, divine potential.
But if we are not careful, we can become like the wilted tomato plant.
We can drift away from the true doctrine and gospel of Christ and become spiritually undernourished and wilted, having removed ourselves from the divine light and living waters of the Savior's eternal love and priesthood power.

If any one of you feels your faith or your testimony of Heavenly Father's plan is less than you know it should be, then turn more fully to the Savior.
Let His light and His living water do for you and your family what a little water and light did in bringing life back to the weakened tomato plant.
