WELCOME! ~ A LITTLE ABOUT THIS BLOG...

For many years, I have collected and continue to collect quotes, thoughts, & stories. It gives me the opportunity to ponder, to meditate, and be inspired to greater heights. I have a passion for life, for my religion, for the goodness of life. Through all this, it has uplifted my soul, & made me stronger emotionally & spiritually.

I've experienced this before from others who are too involved with their text messaging or phone calls, even though they are spending time with you. So frustrating. This is a great read!

To Acquire Spiritual Guidance

"Impressions of the Spirit can come in response to urgent prayer or unsolicited when needed. Sometimes the Lord reveals truth to you when you are not actively seeking it, such as when you are in danger and do not know it. However, the Lord will not force you to learn. You must exercise your agency to authorize the Spirit to teach you. As you make this a practice in your life, you will be more perceptive to the feelings that come with spiritual guidance. Then, when that guidance comes, sometimes when you least expect it, you will recognize it more easily."
--Richard G. Scott, "To Acquire Spiritual Guidance", Ensign, Nov 2009, 6–9

D&C 84:43–45
Oh, Holy Words of Truth and Love, Hymn #271

Asking for Change


"Questions can be powerful! They can help us to see, feel, think, and do things differently. In fact, I have found that one of the most effective ways to change your life is to simply change the questions you ask yourself, your friends, and the Lord." by Wendy Watson Nelson --- For the full article click this link: LDS Living Magazine

Meridian Magazine :: Can Do Youth: Trusting our Perfect God

Love this part of the article...

The Lord does not abandon his people. He does not send us a trial, an upset, or a job to do without offering a way for us to:

  1. Get through it
  2. Gain blessings from it
  3. Receive strength and guidance in order to do what is necessary
  4. Feel even more of His tender mercies and loving care

Measuring Life

Life isn't measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Home & Family

Having someplace to go is home. Having someone to love is family. Having both is a blessing.

Sanity

"The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four people is suffering from a mental illness. Look at your 3 best friends. If they're ok, then it's you."
— Rita Mae Brown
