“And so I come to you today, with no shadow of doubting in my mind that I know the reality of the person who is presiding over this church, our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ. I know that he is. I know that he is closer to us than many times we have any idea. They are not an absentee Father and Lord. They are concerned about us, helping to prepare us for the advent of the Savior, whose coming certainly isn’t too far away because of the signs that are becoming apparent” -Harold B. Lee

A Mother holds her child’s hand for a moment and their heart forever.
The opposite is true too.
A child holds her Mama’s hand for a moment and their heart forever.
Happy Mother’s Day!!!
Today we were able to Skype with our sweet Emily, our Missionary. Our grand baby came home from the hospital today with his Mama and Daddy.
It’s been a wonderful day!
Hope your Sunday is the Best, too! Love, Joy
“Let us establish in our lives the habit of reading those things which will strengthen our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. He is the pivotal figure of our theology and our faith. Every Latter-day Saint has the responsibility to know for himself or herself with a certainty beyond doubt that Jesus is the resurrected, living Son of the living God”
-Gordon B. Hinckley

“Because of Him,
we have second chances, clean slates, new beginnings, there’s no such thing as the end,
because of Him.”
I know that my Redeemer lives. I love Him with all my heart. I know that because of Him I can be my best self. I am so grateful for His life, His sacrifice and atonement, and His resurrection. He is the Son of God, and my brother.
Hope your Easter Sunday is the Best! Love, Joy
Mosiah 2:41
“And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual; and if they hold out faithful to the end they are received into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending happiness. O remember, remember that these things are true; for the Lord God hath spoken it.”

“We cannot keep all the commandments without first knowing them, and we cannot expect to know all, or more than we now know unless we comply with or keep those we have already received” -Joseph Smith

“A subtle but significant blessing we receive is the spiritual gift of gratitude that enables our appreciation for what we have to constrain desires for what we want. A grateful person is rich in contentment. An ungrateful person suffers in the poverty of endless discontentment.” -David A. Bednar

“It isn’t enough to just be on the journey; we must be awake to our duty and continue with faith as we draw upon the comforting, strengthening, enabling, and healing power of the Atonement.” —Carole M. Stephens

I have reached a milestone!!! Today I’m posting my
1000th post!
Here are 13 things I’ve learned from posting 1000 posts!!!!!
1-It’s ok to be yourself.
I have learned that even though I’m not perfect, I am lovable.
2-It’s a great way to tell your story.
I love to read over my stories and relive my experiences.
3-I love to talk about my family, and their history.
I have wonderful children! My grand baby is adorable! My ancestors are the bomb! We are all basically pretty great people!!!
4-It’s actually very fun to have a blog.
It’s a happy, fun, exciting place to share my life!
5-I have lots of heroes, friends, and memories.
My heroes are the good examples in my life. I try to emulate their lives. My friends are golden and I wouldn’t trade them for anything. Well, my memory may go, but I’ll still have my blog.
6-Funny things happen in life.
Laughter really is the best medicine. I wrote a post once about laughing at inappropriate times, and yes I have been known to do that. I just innocently try to live my life and funny stuff just happens. I start to giggle and it’s all over. Next thing you know I have a stomach cramp, and tears are streaming down my face. I am thankful that I laugh easily. Life is too short to not laugh hysterically when the opportunity presents it’s self.
7-There are some wonderful movies and TV shows out there.
Dory: “Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming….what do we do we swim, swim!”
I need that reminder a lot.
8-Sometimes I don’t Have anything to say, believe it or not. And that’s ok.
I have been amazed at the lack of things to say, or when I can’t think of anything to post. I never thought I’d see the day. I am very social, I can talk to anyone, but I do like to be by myself and just sit still and read or relax sometimes.
9-Life is busy!
Life is busier than ever before. We’re all busy. It makes living adventurous! Sometimes finding time to do a blog post is very difficult, but I’m always glad when I do.
10-I really love Sunday’s the Best!
Peaceful, inspirational, and spiritual! Spending the day thinking about God and His precious gifts, and looking for ways to bless others lives!
11-The world is full of Beautiful Places!
Always focus on the beauty in this world. We are so blessed by Father above to live in such a beautiful place. Look for the beauty!
12-I have learned lot’s of lesson’s.
I’m so glad I’ve written them down. I love to learn and I’m glad that challenges are not wasted by having to repeat difficult times. I so appreciate the lessons!
13-It takes a long time to write 1000 posts.
Who knew it would take almost 5 years of blogging to reach 1000 posts, but I did it!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!
The Ten Virgins is one of my favorite parables.
Watch this beautiful video and see why it is so powerful, and thought provoking. “Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.”
May our lamps and vessel’s always be full!
Hope your Sunday was the Best! Love, Joy
