Job 1: 21

Job went through many tragic things in close succession. Even though he didn't see all of Father's plan while they were happening, he had faith and a love of God to keep pressing forward and looking with hope. Because of his diligence and fear/respect of God he was able to receive, in time, what he had and more.

If we are diligent and have faith in Father's unseen plan for us--whatever it is, whatever will happen, whatever good and bad that is ahead of us--we will be blessed.

Have faith. Have hope. Keep pressing forward.

The modern Prophets who live today help us know of the plan and what we need to do.

Choose to Believe.

Executive Family Counsels

"Executive family counsels...involve only the parents. During this time together, parents and review each child's physical, emotional, and spiritual needs and his or her progress.

The executive family counsel is also a good time for wives and husbands to talk to about their personal relationships with each other. ... Elder Harold B. Lee...said, 'Never retire without kneeling together, holding hands, and saying your prayers. Such prayers invite Heavenly Father to counsel us by the power of the Spirit.' "

~Elder M. Russel Ballard

They Don't Give Up

I was reading a talk in the April 1971 General Conference by President Harold B. Lee. It's entitled Today's Young People; it is a great talk and everyone should read it. But the part that I want to focus on for a moment is his quote of Brother Marvin J. Ashton which reads, "No home is a failure until it gives up on that son, or that daughter, or that husband, or that wife. It must not give up, no matter how difficult the task to save one of ours."

 Satan never lets up on us. There are constantly things that try us. He wants to get us down as far as he is. But Christ and Father will always be there to support us and help us up when we trip.

None of them will give up on us, so you shouldn't either. There is so much we can do to better ourselves; Father and Christ will always be there to help when we ask. They will always be willing to give us strength if you ask. I do all the time and They always give me strength to accomplish whatever I need do to or whatever trial I have to overcome. You can too.

I Am A Child Of God

Everyone needs to remember that we are all children of a loving Heavenly Father.


We all come from the same parents if you go back far enough. 

We are all human. We are all human.

We all need to get along because we are family.
