TO REMIND ME!: January 2015

Glory shall follow After much tribulation

I noticed a copy of this on my fridge this morning. On the morning of December 12th Anthony brought this to me to read. He had been reading the D&C and this touched his heart and he felt like sharing it with me. I had him make a copy of it to place where I could view it often. It is a great reminder.

After much tribulation come the blessings. I hope to be ready for and worthy of those blessings.

Bitter Sorrow and Great Happiness

I read Ponder the Path of Thy Feet by President Thomas S. Monson (given October 2014 General Conference) this morning as part of my scripture study and lesson prep and knew I must post this quote to remind me.

"While we will find on our path bitter sorrow, we can also find great happiness."

I know this sounds strange - one of those oxymorons, but I too can testify that this is true. And I am grateful for it.

Moroni 7:47: “Charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever.”Elder Marvin J. Ashton (1915–94) of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles: “We often equate charity with visiting the sick, taking in casseroles to those in need, or sharing our excess with those who are less fortunate. But really, true charity is much, much more.“Real charity is not something you give away; it is something that you acquire and make a part of yourself. And when the virtue of charity becomes implanted in your heart, you are never the same again. …“Perhaps the greatest charity comes when we are kind to each other, when we don’t judge or categorize someone else, when we simply give each other the benefit of the doubt or remain quiet. Charity is accepting someone’s differences, weaknesses, and shortcomings; having patience with someone who has let us down; or resisting the impulse to become offended. … Charity is refusing to take advantage of another’s weakness and being willing to forgive someone who has hurt us. Charity is expecting the best of each other” (“The Tongue Can Be a Sharp Sword,” Ensign, May 1992, 18–19).Moroni 7:48: “Pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love.”
