Find Joy in the Journey - Now

President Thomas S. Monson shares this message about finding Joy in the Journey - now: 

"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 not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now."

How have the rest of you found this Joy?  

What has helped you most to enjoy this mortal experience with those you love?

Charles Dickens's Christmas Carol - Inspired of God

^{From President Thomas S. Monson}

As we remember that “when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God,"  we will not find ourselves in the unenviable position of Jacob Marley’s ghost, who spoke to Ebenezer Scrooge in Charles Dickens’s immortal Christmas Carol. Marley spoke sadly of opportunities lost. Said he: “Not to know that any Christian spirit working kindly in its little sphere, whatever it may be, will find its mortal life too short for its vast means of usefulness. Not to know that no space of regret can make amends for one life’s opportunity misused! Yet such was I! Oh! such was I!”

Marley added: “Why did I walk through crowds of fellow-beings with my eyes turned down, and never raise them to that blessed Star which led the Wise Men to a poor abode? Were there no poor homes to which its light would have conducted me!”

Fortunately, as we know, Ebenezer Scrooge changed his life for the better. I love his line, “I am not the man I was.

Why is Dickens’s Christmas Carol so popular? Why is it ever new? I personally feel it is inspired of God. It brings out the best within human nature. It gives hope. It motivates change. We can turn from the paths which would lead us down and, with a song in our hearts, follow a star and walk toward the light. We can quicken our step, bolster our courage, and bask in the sunlight of truth. We can hear more clearly the laughter of little children. We can dry the tear of the weeping. We can comfort the dying by sharing the promise of eternal life. If we lift one weary hand which hangs down, if we bring peace to one struggling soul, if we give as did the Master, we can—by showing the way—become a guiding star for some lost mariner.

May We So Live

LOVED General Conference

I loved General Conference this past weekend.  It has always been a special time of year for me - ever since I can remember.  This year, in particular, I was deeply moved by the depth yet simplicity of messages.  We are each able to learn and understand in whatever way is applicable to us and according to our personal spiritual preparation.  I am thankful for that and for the Lord teaching us to our own understanding.

I share my own witness of the truthfulness of the Gospel and the reality of the Lord Jesus Christ.  He lives.  He loves us.  He is near and accessible to us.  We are blessed beyond measure to know gospel truths and to have the ability to learn and grow and overcome in preparation for being with Him and our Father again someday.
