July 15/2018

I wasn’t going to write a blog this week but felt strongly to just bear my testimony of the truths that I know.

Life has not always been easy and still there are trials and tests but I’m thankful for a Father in Heaven and an Elder Brother Jesus Christ who knows, suffered and felt the pains, hurt and despair that we all go through from time to time. Our lives were not made to be easy and at times it feels very lonely and difficult.

  In The Doctrine and Covenants we read, “Learn of me, and listen to my words; walk in the meekness of my Spirit, and you shall have peace in me.”

  I love the attribute of meekness it’s a virtue I have admired in many good people and one I am striving to have in my life. To become meek, more Christ like, a true disciple.

Regardless of our circumstances and where we are in our lives we can have the comfort and the Peace of Christ, our Savior, our Redeemer. I know each one of us is important in the Lord’s eyes because he has answered my prayers and I have felt his peace and love in my life. He has given his life for each one of us so we can be forgiven, return to him and be together forever. I am grateful for the Plan of Salvation that my family is an eternal one.

 I’m thankful to be here serving with my eternal companion to be able to learn and grow together. Is life easy, not always but when it is we need to strengthen ourselves so that when the times get difficult we can endure. I promise and I know our Savior will guide, protect and strengthen each one of us as we ask and as we strive to follow him. I have seen it in my life and in the life of my family.

One of my favorite hymns was sung in Sacrament today,

 Help Me Teach with Inspiration

Help me teach with inspiration;

Grant this blessing, Lord, I pray.

Help me lift a soul's ambition

To a higher, nobler way.

Help me reach a friend in darkness;

Help me guide him thru the night.

Help me show thy path to glory

By the Spirit's holy light

Fill my mind with understanding

Tune my voice to echo thine.

Touch my hand with gentle friendship;

Warm my heart with love divine

Help me find thy lambs who wander

Help me bring them to thy keep.

Teach me, Lord, to be a shepherd;

Father, help me feed thy sheep.

Love to all and may your week be filled with Love and Kindness for each other.

Love,

Pam
