Despite wake more tired than when I went to bed, I am grateful for a new start. It's nice that each day can be a "do over" day, a chance to live just a little bit closer to the Spirit and a chance to make amends for the things I need to work on. Today… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 450

Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 429
Arise! That is the word that really jumped out at me as I studied me scriptures this morning. Arise from the dust and be men! My mind immediately goes to one of my favorite scenes in a Disney movie. Mulan whips off her tie and teaches the guys how to climb the wall to save… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 429

Today I studied a bit of the writings of Isaiah that were preserved by Nephi. 1 Nephi 20 begins with a call for all baptized members to hearken to what he has to saw. We are called to serve him and to keep his commandments (Mosiah 18:10). We are called to always remember him. This… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 428

None of my children have ever wanted to get ready at our house or involve us in their fancy dance plans. So we have a quiet night at home. That's nice. I am grateful that… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 427

It took me nearly a whole chapter of reading and studying to finally get to something that really made me stop and pause. "And there was nothing save it were the power of God, which threatened them with destruction, could soften their hearts." -1 Nephi 18:20 What is my heart like? Is my heart capable… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 426

I am grateful I sleep better last night. My Fitbit says I got over 7 hours of real sleep. That's a whole hour more than usual. The crazy thing is I am in my bed "sleeping" for 8 hours or more. I am just so restless that it doesn't count as real sleep. Today during… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 425

Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 423
In this mornings study of the scriptures I am struck by Nephi's "can do" attitude which is the opposite of his brothers' "not happening" attitude. Nephi's attitude comes with personal knowledge of the character of God. He trust's Him, and thus believes that he, himself, can do anything with God on his side. His brothers… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 423

Today in scripture study I am impressed that Nephi really wanted us all to understand that God's commandments must be fulfill or obeyed if we are to understand what true is all about. Not only does God give commandments and expects us to obey, He provides a way for us to be successful. god will… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 422

Boy! Am I ever so grateful for that! Sometimes I am super impatient and forget, but in the long run, I realize that God's timing is perfect timing.
