October has been a busy month around here and I can't believe it's almost over!
Here's a snapshot of some of our happenings...
 |
| My 2 favorite Sunday's of the year...General Conference we snuggled in for 2 days of relaxing and enjoying the Spirit brought from our amazing church leaders. Thanks heaven's I can re-listen online, b/c I got a little too comfy and missed a couple talks :) The scriptures seemed to be a common theme this time for me. Elder Scott's talk particularly impressed me. I have had the thought lately, that although I cannot attend the temple as often as I did in Utah, I can take that time and spend it in the scriptures. I KNOW THERE IS POWER IN OUR DAILY STUDY OF THE BOOK OF MORMON |
"Pondering a passage of scripture can be a key to unlock revelation and the guidance and inspiration of the Holy Ghost. Scriptures can calm an agitated soul, giving peace, hope and a restoration of confidence in one's ability to overcome the challenges of life. They have potent power to heal emotional challenges when there is faith in the Savior. They can accelerate physical healing."
Elder Richard G. Scott
(why do I not spend more time in my scriptures???)
