Use the Sabbath Day to worship, take the Sacrament, rest from labors, minister to others and do some personal introspection to repent and correct our faults. * Look to children as our examples; they are the first to love and the first to forgive. Don't just casually observe them, BEHOLD your little ones * Turn feelings of sympathy into ACTION * Death is part of life * Do not let our fears displace our faith * Answers to prayers do not always come when we're on our knees, they come when we're on our feet. Tithing will keep your name on the rolls of heaven * Happiness = a Christ-centered home; selfishness, greed, and pornography are destroyers of families * When sheep are lost, lambs will follow * DESIRES dictate PRIORITIES which shape our CHOICES which determine our ACTIONS * Kindness is the essence of greatness * Hearken to the promptings of the Spirit then heed them * It is usually through others that God meets our needs * If we handle them right, our afflictions will be consecrated for our good * Be kind to the poor. Visit the captive, minister to the sick, comfort those that mourn * The spirit of revelation is available to all who seek it. ASK in FAITH, BELIEVING and ye shall receive * Make whatever sacrifices are necessary to attend the temple regularly.
And lastly, I love this one:
Preach the Gospel at all times and if necessary use words.

Thank you for the lovely reminder. I absolutely love the last one by St. Francis. I need to copy your post straight into my journal.
Glad you got some good listening in! Too bad we didn't get to see you on your sojourn up north.
I read this last night before bed and loved it very much. You do such a wonderful job and you make your blog look so good too. Coming to your blog last night was like visiting a reverent place and I appreciated it. Amen to all you said.
Hey, I think if I took notes they would have looked similar to yours. Those were some of my highlights as well.
love this stuff - you did a great job summing up the entire conference in a nice bright pretty format!
and I'm so excited for the new CO temple - seriously :)
a sunday with treats and jammies. That is my kind of sunday. Some good messages too.
