Never Ever Give Up

So very many times when things get tough I think how much easier it would be to give up. Someone sent me this video and it was truly inspiring.

Cick on the title below...I am sure this will inspire you during hard times and when you see others struggling, as well.

Never Ever Give Up

Life can truly be amazing when we look at things from an eternal point of view!

Obiedience is the First Law of Heaven

Obedience is the first law of heaven. I have taught this principle many times over the years...first as a mom...and then the many years (30) that I taught Seminary. A few months ago our Stake President-Bryan Crawley- spoke at our Ward Conference. He presented "The Big Five", and said that if we would live the five principles faithfully, we would see a difference in our lives. So what are the "Big 5" 1. Prayer-both morning and night as individuals, as families, and as couples 2. Scripture Study-daily. Again as individuals, as families, as couples 3. Family Home Evening-every week 4. Temple Attendance-no less than once a month 5. Paying an honest tithe and a generous fast offering John and I both felt strongly that we definitely needed to improve in all those areas. We knelt together and asked the Lord to help us be completely obedient to what has been asked. What a difference there is in our home. We are both feeling closer to our Father in Heaven and the Savior. There is less contention, more love and support. I so love President Crawley, and am grateful for his counsel.
