ShareOne of my favorite songs is, “As I Have Loved You” by Luacine Clark Fox.  For those who are not familiar with the words, it goes like this: As I have loved you Love one another. This new commandment, Love one another. By this shall men know Ye are my disciples If ye have love one to another. I just think that is so beautiful. I have recently been introduced to a group that helps...

ShareDon’t watch this video without a tissue in hand. It is a very touching account of a man who lost his expectant wife and two of their children in a car wreck. It’s the story of how he was able to forgive the teenager who had been drinking and hit their car. He says that it was just the Savior working through him that allowed him to forgive. He talked of how he was just an instrument...

ShareWhen I was looking through my e-mail inbox, today, I noticed this new video had been published.  Instantly, I knew it would probably be a tear jerker, and I was right.  Anything talking about motherhood lately has made me cry.  Since my children went to live with their dad, I have had a broken heart.  They are happy and they are doing well, but I am having a really hard time adjusting...

ShareI just watched this video and I’m still choked up. It made me cry to hear about this girl who wanted to be a cheerleader. She has muscular distrophy. She has a sweet spirit and the other girls on the squad have taken her in and just love her. The school has also embraced her. This is what it is to be a disciple of Christ. It means to love others and to do to them as He would do. ...

ShareToday was fast and testimony meeting at church, which is like open mic.  It was such an inspiring, spiritual meeting and my tears were close a few times.  I didn’t take the chance to bear my testimony at church, so I thought I’d bear it online to you. I used to think that I knew God lived and that I couldn’t be more sure about it.  But, then something would happen and...

ShareI had to give a talk today in church about applying moral principals in our daily lives, so I thought I would share a bit of what I talked about here.  Living a good life every day takes determination and a commitment to do what’s right as well as not to do what’s wrong.  There are many opportunities to follow the spirit that seem small, but may still make a difference in someone’s...

ShareWe have just had a chance to teach our children this lesson. We have expectations about what kinds of things we will allow in our home. We have made a decision to serve The Lord and to obey his commandments. This video explains my feelings about serving The Lord. Each day, I try to know what He would have me do to help build up His Kingdom here on the earth. I know that no matter how...

ShareWhen I was a young girl, I made a decision that I would never put alcohol, tobacco or drugs in my body. It has been a decision that I have stuck to diligently. My Sunday school teacher challenged me at a young age to make this decision, and I am forever grateful for the impact it has made in my life. My life has been changed for the better. My children have a great example to follow. ...

ShareWe are commanded to keep the Sabbath day holy, but The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints will never give an all inclusive list of what that means.   We are given a bit of direction, such as rest from your labors and don’t go to the store on Sundays.  The rest is up to us to work out by personal revelation.  We should study it out in our minds and ask whether we are on the...

ShareThis week, I was asked to give a lesson in Relief Society, which is the group of women in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints who dedicate their lives to serving with charity.  Anyhow, the lesson was on receiving spiritual guidance.  I learned so much while I was preparing for the lesson, that I thought it would be a good thing to share here as well.  The lesson was taken from...
