Sharing.



I would like you to imagine something here. Say someone just found this really amazing recipe for the most amazing food in the world. This person loves it and thinks of it as the greatest thing to come in contact with mankind. But this person keeps it all to themself. And when they die it goes with them. The rest of mankind missed out because of someone lack of sharing, how sad! This is how we should never treat the Gospel of Jesus Christ! It is the above all else what will help mankind the most, here and in the hereafter. That is why I share what I do because I have found something so truly amazing that I cannot keep it myself. I am not perfect at it and I am trying to be better. Sometimes I have to kick myself in the butt because I forget just how important it is. I want to thank all of those who share. There are many that are “kept from the truth because they know not where to find it” (D&C 123:12), but you do! Let them know the important truths that you cherish like: Forever Families, We are Children of God, He loves us, Life after Death, The Restoration of The Gospel, Faith, Repentance, The Gift of the Holy Ghost, The Plan of Salvation, and much, much more! “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”(Matt. 5:16)
Reach Out and Share!

Hope.

I love the scripture in Ether 12:4, which reads:
            "Wherefore, whoso believeth in God might with surety hope for a better world, yea, even a place at the right hand of God, which hope cometh of faith, maketh an anchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works, being led to glorify God."
Hope for a better world ~ Like watching the sunrise!
This scripture tells me that although this life sometimes throws us a fast ball that we didn't really see coming, if we have faith/believe, where can indeed hope for a better world, as that is what has been promised us by our Father in Heaven through many prophets. And then this hope is our anchor to help be the "sure and steadfast" children of God that he expects us to be. That will then be our motivation do to good for our brothers and sisters who need our help, because many do in a large amount of different kinds of ways. And what we do for them will Glorify our Heavenly Father! That is awesome, so let’s all gain that Hope through Faith!
