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.

THE LORD'S WAY BY ELDER STANLEY G. ELLIS

The Lord's way is that we hearken to our leaders' teachings, understand correct principles, and govern ourselves.

He is our Heavenly Father, who knows us, loves us, and wants us to return to Him. Jesus is our Savior and Redeemer, who through the Atonement made it certain we will overcome death and live again and possible for us to be exalted and have eternal life. The Holy Ghost is our comforter, revelator, teacher, testifier, and guide.

Think of it, brothers and sisters-we are not spiritual orphans! WE ARE NOT ALONE.

What are the advantages of having parents-of not being an orphan? we can learn from them, benefit from their experience, avoid pitfalls they warn us about, and understand better because of their perspective. We don't have to be lost, confused, deceived, or less effective. This is especially true in the case of our Heavenly Father, who has taught us and shown us not just a way but the way.

GOD HAS THE WAY

In fact, God has the way to live, to love, to help, to pray, to talk, to interact with each other, to lead, to marry, to raise children, to learn, to know the truth, to share the gospel, to choose wisely what we eat

  1. Isaiah 55:8-9
  2. Proverbs 3:5-7
  3. D&C 82:10
  4. 1 SAMUEL 16:7
GOVERNING OURSELVES

The apostles and prophets have often taught that what happens inside the home is far more important than what our children encounter outside.
How we raise our children is more important than where we raise them.
