Sunday Inspiration

Since I am home today (and not at church), tending to my stuffy nosed husband & child, here's this to inspire us both, you and I.

"The gift of the Holy Ghost... quickens all the intellectual faculties, increases, enlarges, expands, and purifies all the natural passions and affections, and adapts them, by the gift of wisdom, to their lawful use. It inspires, develops, cultivates, and matures all the fine-toned sympathies, joys, tastes, kindred feelings, and affections of our nature. It inspires virtue, kindness, goodness, tenderness, gentleness, and charity. It develops beauty of person, form, and features. It tends to health, vigor, animation, and social feeling. It invigorates all the faculties of the physical and intellectual man. It strengthens and gives tone to the nerves.

In short, it is, as it were, marrow to the bone, joy to the heart, light to the eyes, music to the ears, and life to the whole being."

-Parley P. Pratt

Aren't we so very blessed to have such an influence in our lives? And aren't we blessed to know that we belong to a loving Heavenly Father? How mindeful He is of our needs! How I know He leads and guides us. And although we can't see Him, I know He is actively present in our lives, in my life. And He has a plan. Amidst this crazy, confused world of ours, He has a plan.

And it's perfect. And with the help of the spirit, we can learn to trust in that plan. And if we do, all will be well.

All is well here.

And my heart is full.  

Have a peaceful afternoon,
