Various thoughts to ponder

Here are some notes from speakers I have heard at various conferences in the last year or so....

Sister Bednar - Do the simple things we are asked to do by the Spirit - don't wait for a harder or loftier answer.

Sister Lita Giddens (from our stake conference) - on standing in holy places - "Sometimes a holy place may be a place of uncertainty but we move forward in faith. The scriptures say "I come quickly" this doesn't just refer to the 2nd Coming. He will come to us quickly when we stand in holy places.

Brother Richard Hawks - God's word in the immunization for the ills of the world.

Elder Oaks - At Christmas, don't just celebrate His birthday, celebrate His mission, too.
                     Faith is the Lord is trust in the Lord.
                     If we trust in the Lord we must also trust in His timing.
                     We may not be able to change the challenge but we can change how we get through it.
                     What we hear from the Spirit is more important than what was said by the speaker.

Pres. Samuelson - Do the best we can and the the Lord make up the difference.
                             Find joy as you struggle.
                       

Sister Virginia Pearce - Keep it small. Keep it simple. Give it time.

Sister Barbara Thompson - Where there is faith there are miracles.

“Tell the sisters to go forth and discharge their duties in humility and faithfulness and the Spirit of God will rest upon them, and they will be blest in their labors. Let them seek for wisdom instead of power and they will have all the power they have wisdom to exercise!!"  - Eliza R. Snow


Pres. Uchtdorf -  During seasons when growing conditions are not ideal, trees slow down their growth and devote their energy to the basic elements necessary for survival...Therefore, it is good advice to slow down a little, steady the course, and focus on the essentials when experiencing adverse conditions.



I am not sure who these notes are from...but still good things to ponder...

We should always be learning what errand we should be on...errands require labor and are hard and require diligence.
Where do you hear the voice of the Lord? Go there often...
Make your to-do list - then see if the Lord agrees and approves of it.
Always work to improve your family relationships.


Enough for now!

I love you!!!
