Hear HIm

Hear Him 

"Daily immersion in the word of God is crucial for spiritual survival, especially in these days of increasing upheaval. As we feast on the words of Christ daily, the words of Christ will tell us how to respond to difficulties we never thought we would face." ("Hear Him", President Russell M. Nelson, April 2020)

Do Things That Make a Difference

“Spend your energy on things that make a difference.”—Elder M. Russell Ballard, “Do Things That Make a Difference", June 1983)

Do the Right Things Now

 “Don't live your life in despair, feeling sorry for yourself because of the mistakes you have made. Let the sunshine in by doing the right things—now.” (Elder Richard G. Scott, “Finding the Way Back”, April 1990)

Stay in the Scriptures

 Here is another quote by Elder Holland.

“Stay in the scriptures.” (Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, “Face to Face with President Eyring and Elder Holland”) The image was created by Jenae Nelson.

Article Faith 8 states "We believe the Bible to be the bword of God as far as it is translated ccorrectly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God."

Because of Jesus

“Because Jesus walked such a long, lonely path utterly alone, we do not have to do so.” (Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, “None Were with Him”, April 2009)

“Be With and Strengthen Them” and Ministering

This particular general conference talk, “Be With and Strengthen Them”, by Elder Holland is one that I rememember quite clearly. It talks about the new ministering that began in April 2018. Presidend Russel M. Nelson introduced the Ministering concept in the previous talk. It also talks about a dear sister that I use to visit teach when their family was in our ward. Elder Holland talks about her experience with cancer and her passing on January 14, 2018. I didn't go to her funeral services because I felt like I was fight a cold or something and I didn't want to spreat it to others. If I had went I would have seen Elder Holland at the services.

Remember we need to help others all the time. It is hard to do but I need to start doing it more often to my ministering sisters and others. May we remember to minister one another as Jesus did years ago when he lived upon this Earth.

Sister Nelson talks about being married to President Nelson...

One part Sister Nelson said was, “What’s caught my attention about that is to see how much the people love the Lord, and therefore they’re so drawn to the prophet.” I know. It's true. They ❤️love❤️ the Lord. When I was serving as a missionary in Chile I could see the great ❤️love❤️ for the Lord. Now in Spanish: Yo sé. Es verdad. Ellos ❤️aman❤️ el Señor. Cuando estaba serviendo como misionera en Chile podía ver que ellos tienen un gran ❤️amor❤️ por el Señor.

Elder Andersen addresses ‘compensatory blessings’ amid COVID-19

Here is an article about Elder Anderson. He talks about a carving of the Savior that his son bought him. (Read about it and other things in the article.) His three old daughter, said, “Daddy, Jesus says, ‘Slow down.’”. We can learn some great things from Elder Anderson. Please take the time to read this article.

We need to slow down in life. We need to focus on not wasting our time on what really doesn't matter. We need to make the things that are most important to us, the "things" that REALLY MATTER. We need to focus on ourselves by bettering ourselves with the gospel of Jesus Christ. We can do this by reading the scriptures, reading "Come, Follow Me", praying, and reading good wholesome books and poetry. We need to spend time with our family. As it states in the article, "...the need to testify of the Savior to his own family". We need to this to our family so we know we have a testimony of our Savior, Jesus Christ. We can serve our family every minute of the day (as long as we take time for ourselves too). We need to minister to those around us just like Jesus Christ did when he was on this Earth. We need to do anything else that is important in heaven.

Mothers Teaching Children in the Home

The talk, Mothers Teaching Children in the Home, was given by L. Tom Perry in April 2010. I remember this talk as I read through it again. He said this, "I believe it is by divine design that the role of motherhood emphasizes the nurturing and teaching of the next generation.". Mother's Day is this Sunday. Remember your mothers and what they do for you. Show your love to them at this special time of the year if your mother is still upon this Earth. If your mother passed away (like mine did in June 2017), remember them and the great things they did while they were here with your. I remember my mother planting sweet pea flowers. She would cut them and place them in vases in our house. They smelled so sweet, sweet like mothers, sweeter than sweet. Thank you mother for all that you taught me and what you did for me. I love you!

The Great Commandment

The Great Commandment talk was given by Joseph B. Wirthlin in October 2007. This is one part that he gave in his talk, "When we reach out to assist the least of Heavenly Father’s children, we do it unto Him.." He was 90 years old when he gave this talk. He was shaking as he was speaking to the member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (and other people who were listening to General Conference). At the very end of this talk Russell M. Nelson came and stood behind him until he finished his talk. What a perfect example of the pure love of Christ. Love, always remember to love others. Jesus loves you. Always show your love to others like Jesus Christ did while He was upon this Earth. He still shows his love to each and every one of us. Remember to love always as you minister to those around you. Help those that need it. Help those that might not need it. Serve like Jesus did. Remember this scripture, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." (Matthew 22:37–40) If we remember the example of Jesus Christ in our daily lives, we will be blessed and we can bless others.

Day-to-Day Choices - President Gordon B. Hinckley

“The course of our lives is not determined by great, awesome decisions. Our direction is set by the little day-to-day choices which chart the track on which we run.” (President Gordon B. Hinckley, “Watch the Switches in Your Life", October 1972)
