Men Are That They Might Have JOY.

Am grateful for a husband willing to sacrifice for his God and country. Am grateful that he has come home to me every time from deployments. Am grateful for the support I always find from family, friends and neighbors...despite our differences. Thank you to all my soldier friends and their spouses for sacrificing your soldier's time, too. Listened to this today on the way home from church-a feeling of peace to listen to.




Today in Relief Soceity we had a lesson on Joy. We talked about how sometimes we feel inadequate or lack the self-confidance, but that we shouldn't let these feelings overpower us like the Adversary would want. We need to focus on the better things in life, keep a positive outlook and turn to our Saviour in PRAYER when we feel like we've done all we could to rid ourselves of these feelings. I know the Lord will help us, instill in us the love and confidance that we are in need of.

There have been so many manisfestations to me in the last week -- so many people that have been answers to my unsaid prayers. The Lord truly does bless you in your time of need as you try to live the gospel He has laid out for us. Temple attendance blessings, doing genealogy blessings, attending church blessings, performing your calling blessings, studying your scriptures and/or conference talks blessings. Loving your children like they should be blessings. What we lack the Lord will provide as he does not ask us to do things that we don't have the tools or the means to do. He will provide.
