A Child's Prayer

One of my favorite children's songs is called A Child's Prayer. In this song you can hear a girl and a man singing this beautiful song. The first verse it starts with, "Heavenly Father, are you really there? And do you hear and answer ev’ry child’s prayer?" The second verse it starts with, "Pray, he is there; Speak, he is list’ning."

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!
