August Presidency Message : Recognize Your Individual Worth

I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful summer weather. I am LOVING it.

I recently saw this video and want to share it with all. I LOVE it. We are unique, divine individuals created by a Heavenly Father who loves us so much and stands ready to dispatch a legion of angels to our aid. If only we could see beyond the veil we would be overwhelmed at how much power is at our fingertips.

Great news is that as of August 2012, Chase Burch was 5 years cancer free!!!!

I hope you will never be afraid to seek Heavenly Father in prayer and ask for blessings. I hope you never miss the opportunity to ask for priesthood blessings because you feel insignificant, or you don't want to trouble someone. YOU are noticed, YOU are loved and YOU are important to Him. What you do and say is recorded in Heaven. The angels are our cheerleaders.

 

I love this quote, by Bonnie Rickner Jensen

 “God made you on purpose. You’re not an afterthought, you’re not on earth ‘just because’ and you’re not a random act of His creativity. You were given his 100% stamp of approval from head to toe before you were even born – and the moment you were, He beamed with joy” 

I pray that you all recognize and feel your individual worth.

Love

July Presidency Message

"Know this, that every soul is free, to chose his life and what he'll be; for this eternal truth is giv'n: That God will force no man to heav'n" (Hymn#240) We are so very blessed to live in this free land! As members of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we are eternally blessed to have the fullness of the Gospel to guide us in our choices. We have the blessings of repentance and forgiveness to keep ourselves free from sin. We have the guidance of a living prophet, the scriptures and the Holy Ghost to bless us in tour use of agency.

Helaman 14:30-31 "Remember, remember...for behold, ye are free; ye are permitted to act for yourselves; for behold, God hath given unto you a knowledge and he hath made you free."

2 Nephi 10:23 Therefore, cheer up your hearts and remember that ye are free to act for yourselves--to choose the way of everlasting death or the way of eternal life."

This month, as we ponder the sacrifices and heritage given us by the founding fathers of this nation and the early Saints who pioneered this restored gospel, may we choose wisely what we'll be.
"May we, no more our pow'rs abuse, but ways of truth and goodness choose; Our God is pleased when we improve His grace and see his perfect love."

With love, gratitude for our freedoms, and hope for a better me and you,
