Grandma's Journal: Fancy Ladies

Some very FANCY LADIES attended the family reunion!

The Secret Garden

"Both ABUNDANCE and lack [of abundance] exist simultaneously in our lives, as parallel realities. It is always our conscious choice which
SECRET GARDEN

we will tend...
when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives
but are grateful for the ABUNDANCE that's present-
love,
health,
family,
friends,
work,
the joys of nature,
and personal pursuits that bring us [happiness]-
the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience heaven on earth."
Sarah Ban Breathnach

Thomas S. Monson

"Time never stands still; it must steadily march on, and with the marching come the changes. This is our one and only chance at mortal life-here and now.

"The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you no to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and non-existent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do.

Instead,
FIND JOY IN THE JOURNEY---NOW"

REJOICE EVERMORE!

When I first read these words, "Rejoice Evermore" in 1 Thessalonians 5:16 my heart leaped with joy! What beautiful words. How meaningful that they were written by the Apostle Paul who suffered tremendously for his testimony of Christ; yet he REJOICES and for EVERMORE! I knew the moment I read them they would be a Standard of Truth for me for Evermore.

To further enhance the idea of looking for reasons to REJOICE I have read Pollyanna and watched the movie several times. During daily scripture study anytime the word, Glad, Rejoice or Joy are discovered they are highlighted in the happy color, yellow.

Now, even better than 1 Thess. I have found Jesus Christ speaking in modern times these words, "Verily I say unto you my friends, Fear not, let your hearts be comforted; yea REJOICE EVERMORE, and in everything give thanks; waiting patiently on the Lord..." Not Paul, but Jesus tells me to
REJOICE EVERMORE!
