Scripture for the day:

Thought for the day:

Day 3 Thoughts

Sometimes I feel like I am not doing enough for my family. We have regular FHE but I always think they should be more. I realize my kids are young and that one day they will have a stronger understanding of the gospel. I always start to do scripture study with them but we always seem to drift away from that. I need to be more diligent in this. I need to make it a priority in our day!

Day 3

Scripture Study: 1 Nephi 16-19

Scripture to mark and ponder: 1 Nephi 19:23

Scripture for the day:

“If a man love me, he will keep my word; and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.” (John 14;23)

Thought for the day:

“Families who prayerfully prepare and consistently hold their weekly Home Evening, and work together during the week to apply the lessons in their lived, will be blessed. There will be better feelings between husband and wife, between parents and children, and among children. In such homes, the Spirit of the Lord will be made manifest…”

—–David O. McKay

Day 2 thoughts

I really like the quote for today

“Character is the ability to carry out a decision after the emotion of making the decision is past.”

What makes a person decide to do something. I try to help people as much as I can but I almost always complain to myself or others after the fact. Why did I do that. Why can't I just say no to people. Does it really "count" if you have issues with what your are doing to "help" someone else.

Day 2

Scripture Study: 1 Nephi 11-15

Scripture to mark and ponder: 1 Nephi 15:34

Scripture for the day:

“I say unto thee, put your trust in the Spirit which leadeth to do good—–yea to do justly, to walk humbly, to judge righteously; and this is my Spirit. Verily, verily, I say unto you. I will impart unto you of my Spirit, which shall enlighten your mind, which shall fill your soul with joy. And then shall ye know, or by this shall you know, all things whatsoever you desire of me, which are pertaining unto things of righteousness, in faith believing in me that you shall receive.” (D&C 11:12-14)

Thought for the day:

“Character is the ability to carry out a decision after the emotion of making the decision is past.”

Day 1 Thoughts

1 Nephi 3:7
7 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I ^awill go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no ^bcommandments unto the children of men, save he shall ^cprepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them.

What a great scripture. This is a scripture that I turn to quite often. How can we succeed in life with out the knowledge that a way is prepared for us? Sometime a lot is asked of us but if we remember that the Lord is with us we can do those things that are asked of us. Sometimes this is hard to remember at least for me.

Day 1

Scripture Study: 1 Nephi 1-10

Scripture to mark and ponder: 1 Nephi 3:7

Scripture for the day:

“Yea, behold, I will tell you in your mind and in your heart, by the Holy Ghost, which shall come upon you and which shall dwell in your heart.” (D&C 8:2)

Thought for the day:

“It is the right and privilege of every man, every woman, and every child who has reached the years of accountability, to enjoy the spirit of revelation and to be possessed of the spirit of inspiration in the discharge of their duties as members of the Church.”

—Joseph F. Smith
