So there was this Angel....

-

     I was just reading Section 27 with Peyton and couldn't help but think of how to apply this to my own life. 

    Just to set the stage, Joseph Smith Jr. and a small group saints where getting together to take the sacrament and finally confirm and give the gift of the Holy Ghost to Emma, and I think there was one or two others too, and Joseph headed off to go get the wine. A short time later he returns with none. I can picture it in my head...

    Emma: Joseph where is the wine? That was the one thing on the list. 

    Joseph: Uumm, well you see I was going to get the wine but there was.... umm... this heavenly messenger, yea that's it, you know the kind I see all the time? Well he told me that we didn't need any wine. In fact he told me it was a commandment to not go get wine. So no to answer you question I did not in fact forget it, I was told not to go buy it... by God. so there! Oh and now we need to make our own.

    Maybe this is applying scripture to my own life a little to much.

    A few other things that stood out to me.

    2: It mattereth not what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink when ye partake of the sacrament, if it so be that ye do it with an eye single to my glory.  Even though it is the standard to use bread and water today we know that if it were necessary those could be substituted out with something else and we could still partake of the blessings of the sacrament.

  5  - 14: The next time Christ sits down to take the sacrament there will be a gathering of all those that helped in the restoration. Named is Moroni, Elias, John the Baptist, Elijah, Jacob, Isaac, Abraham, Adam, Peter, James, John, and (v14) "And also with all those whom my Father hath given me out of the world."  Peyton said "Wow that's a better line up then Infinity Wars."  I think he is right. 

15-18: The armor of God.  Fill you life with Truth, Righteousness, the Gospel of Peace, Faith Salvation, and the Gods Spirit and we will be protected from all things.

Spiritual Impressions and ways to Grow

Hey everyone!!😁 I am super excited to do this with you guys. Living so far away from everyone always makes me feel as if I miss out on so many opportunities for amazing discussions about the one thing I truly love which is our faith. So many times I have sat with Adonis's family talking about church or something we learned or questions that are asked that have turned into wonderful and sometimes deep discussions and wished I could do that with all of you. The things I started thinking about with texting is time differences. I thought what if I had a profound thought or question come to me and it is 11pm here but midnight in Utah and everyone is asleep or 2 am in Ohio. I don't want to wake anyone up and I don't want to lose that spirit in thought or question I had by holding back to send because I don't want to wake anyone up. I thought about doing a FB page but here is a few problems with that. Dad does not have a page, my husband does not have one and Ma...

Creation

I had a friend share this me and I loved it..  The Gift of Creation By Anonymous All things are created in the Spirit first. Moses 3:5. We came to earth endowed with spiritual gifts. One of them is the gift to create. I like to think that we all were eagerly watching as Jesus and Michael created this world and everything in it. We learned how organizing matter is essential in creating. WE are blessed every day to use our gift of creating. We create with Him what kind of day we will have. We create a home that is filled with the Spirit. We create beauty with our talents. Some sing, some write, some create beauty from the earth, the list of what can be created is infinite. Most of us have created the most important thing of all- with the Lord we created children from our own bodies. And each one of us was created with individual characteristics.  I know that I am blessed to create with Them every day. Look at your life – What are you creating with God? ...

What does it mean to "Trust in the Lord"?

What does it mean to “Trust in the Lord” or to “Have Faith in the Lord?” It seems from my personal experience and study, that DOUBT and FEAR are some of the main eroding factors and poisons to our Faith. Consider the two scriptural accounts when the Lord told His New Testament disciples, “O, ye of little faith.”  In one account He used this statement when He was asleep on the boat during the storm (can you imagine how exhausted, yet at complete peace the Savior must have been?) and His disciples came to Him in a panic and fear of sinking.  They pleaded for Him to save them, to which He arose, calmed the sea, and then referred to them as “ye of little faith.”  The second account was when Peter, in great faith, went walking on the water towards the Lord, but then began to look around and sink.  Crying out to the Lord to save Him, the Savior did so, and then said, “thou of little faith.” I think the disciples were actually very faithful in both of these circumstances....
