Happy Palm Sunday

Today is Palm Sunday.
Today is General Conference.
The bedrooms of our home are filled with loved ones fast asleep.
Soon the aroma of Apple Pancakes will fill the air, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir will be singing prayers and the voice of the Prophet of God will ring through our home.

For this moment I am alone with thoughts of my dear Savior who many years ago was hailed as the Prince, the Deliverer, the King, as He returned to Jerusalem on a donkey. HE knew the truth.

He was coming not to save them from Rome but from themselves and the chains of sin.

Like the Jews of long ago may we welcome Him into our homes and hearts with cheers and lay palm fronds down to make His entry into our life a smooth and easy one.

God Loves you

Throughout February I will share
beautiful words of love.
Words that inspire and lift the soul.
Enjoy!

"We're the children of God

and as his children there is no attribute we ascribe to him that we do not possess,
though they may be dormant or in embryo.
Now this is the truth,
we humble people,
we who feel sometimes so worthless,
so good for nothing,
we are not so worthless as we think.
There is not one of us but what God's love has been expended upon.
There is not one of us that He has [not] cared for and carressed.
We may be insignificant and contemptible in our own eyes and in the eyes of others,
but truth remains that we are the children of God
and He has actually given His angels
-invisible beings of power and might-
charge concerning us,
and they watch over us and have us in their keeping."
