FOR OUR MOTHERS

Oh what a special day is here. When we came to you on that very first day, it started with a little pain, but as the pain started to fade away, the tears of joy fell like a summer rain. Mother and child start a bond that is forever there, this bond of love and to always care, its with us as a child and is the strength that gets us through, in times of unhappiness and times when we are blue, but the best part of your love are your smiles and your loving touch it lets us know you love us, oh so much. 

Why I love you and always will…….why  I love you and love you still……..come sun or rain you have been there for me, now its my turn to help you see, your calling of a mother is like the crown of a queen, it’s a calling of taking care of another human being…blood of your blood, and flesh of your flesh…its the bond we share …its why we mesh…this bond started on that special day, its always here, never to go away. You are my mother, my sweet and loving friend; I’ll love you forever and ever no end.        

So to be perfectly clear, I let you know this day…I LOVE  YOU MY MOTHER IN EVERY WAY…I want you to know the love that we share is stronger and true… good times and bad times it gets us through. I love you mom for all that you’ve done, for the love you give, you’re my rising sun, happy mother’s day mom.

Why I love General Conference

The words general conference speak importance to me, It’s the gathering of saints and general authorities. It’s a time when the stirring pot is full of gospel gold Sermons will be given and stories will be told.

Prophets, apostles and seventies, these are the brethren who hold the priesthood keys Our beloved sisters teach the spirit to our young and old, to our primary and youth, in hopes it will take hold They teach us with patience, kindness and love, they teach us these qualities from our father above.

The savior has taught us that its line upon line, precept on precept.

Hear a little there a little, which is how it enters our hearts, this is how the savior’s taught us, from the very start

Many things to teach us, there must be a place to start, the savior teaches us to love one another and let it come from our hearts. There is patience; there is faith, repentance, and baptism too. These are the things the savior would have us do.

We come to conference to learn of strength, the kind that will endure, Testimony, faith, and staying true, these are the things the savior would have us do Stand true to who we are and testify of Christ for he is the one, the one who paid the price.

I love to come to conference and look upon the stand; I look for president Hinckley with his Cain in his hand. He teaches us to pray everyone and all, he asks us to live the gospel, And to stand just a little more tall.

When conference ends and its time to go, I will miss the brethren and that special glow, there words are like manna for my family and friends, there the kind of words you hope won’t end. The spirit of god like a fire it burns, and for 6 more months, this conference adjourns.

Two Sticks


Two books have come forth that shed there light, give man direction for his earthly flight, in a world of good and a world of sin, we needed this light to help us win, a battle that has been waged by the father of sin.

The holy bible, from prophets of old, tells of Jehovah and the scriptures unfold. The many prophets who lived in that time were god fearing men who gave of there lives.

 From Adam to Paul, they tell of the savior, who will save us from the fall. When the savior’s time was near, he spoke of other sheep that they to must hear, to those there, they did not understand they were his children in a different land, to them he must go, for the scriptures have foretold.

The book of Mormon came to light, a true testimony of Jesus Christ, from prophets who had lived in the American land, teaching there people the gospel plan.

The two sticks together have come with a price, the truths that they bare testify of Christ.
 If we live what they say, and do our best, the savior will help us and do the rest.

TO GIVE IT ALL


The road to Carthage was more then a dusty trail, it was a journey we have all known too well; our Savior’s path was just the same, it ended in death and it glorified his name.

As calm as a summer’s morning were the feelings in his heart, our dear Prophet Joseph, from us was to depart. On this trip to give it all, to leave family and friends for this prophet’s last call.

No greater gift for man, him to give, then to die for his friends that they may live, a martyr he would come with his brother that day, to give it all was the only way.

From 1805 til time had gone by, the trials he would endure would take this boy thru the refiner’s fire, and the man he would shape would be like a stone, rolling along until finely honed.

Full of visions and full of light. He knew his path and god would make it right .To go thru the trials that his family bore, the slander and trials were the beginning of many more.

 Thru it all he never lost faith, his power to increase, for he knew Satan’s grasp would never seem to cease.

 He gave it all; it was always the plan, because of his love for his fellow man. His journey had come full circle with time, beloved Prophet of yours of mine. A testimony sealed with the blood of this man, he gave it all for the gospel plan.

THE CLIMB

So many thoughts go thru my mind, trying to understand sometimes I cry, are my trials so hard to bear, or is it I know that the Savior cares ,my trials come at times when im not in the mood or when things are going so great , I know in the good times I can relate.

We all understand joy and the gifts that it brings, but its thru the sorrow and pain , to most it stings, I know I have feelings of why this and now, but what I should say is god is showing me how, how to help me move from this place in time, I know it will be an up hill climb, go it alone like I think I can , and not to far I realize im just a man.

But having the faith to hold to the rod , its one step at a time , moving forward I trod. The Savior leads us up these steep climbs, and tells us to hold tight and don’t loose your sight, I think that what we look for are water and rest, but he has just started to make us his best.

The tests and the trials we face in this life are blessings of growth , and not ones of strife. We cant know the sweet without knowing the bad, to think we weren’t blessed makes the Savior so sad.

So when the sore trials are upon you, think of the Savior and what he went thru, take it with a smile and a happy tune in your heart, for the Saviors been with us from the start, for the trials of life make you more then a man, evolving from this is the saviors plan,

I look at my problems so differently now, the saviors gospel has shown me how, the end goal in sight I know I must win this fight, for the battle to win , I must do it with a grin. The moments here are for a short time, and I’ve had the Savior all thru my climb.

So now when the trials seem to come your way, think of the savior , and what he would say, be patient be humble its just for a time, I’ve been with you my loved one thru your whole climb , I love you so much and hold you so dear, I never will leave you , so please don’t fear.

I never said it was easy my son, I said it was worth it when you are done.

Today’s picture

Today was so special , I looked to the sky and a picture was painted before my eyes. I went thru this day with so much to do , I thought of the savior like I normally do.

I wonder each day what is in store, he’s given so much , this I cant ignore.

We have each day to love and to give, the savior has asked us to always forgive , each day that goes by we have this chance, to look into some ones eye and give them more then a glance.

Do we look past them and move on our way or do we look deeper to help them

this day, they have a picture of this day too , will we help them, what will we do.

The savior teaches to care and to love, to be like our father who lives up above.

To help each person there burdens we share, I should take the time to show them I care. This day was so special , because I took time, to help another and to be kind.

I know I must love them and honestly care, to help make there day, there burdens I shared.

With colors so bright, the memory of this day will linger into the night.

This day was so special I took time to care, there burdens I shouldered , there burdens I shared, the picture I saw with colors so bright was helping my brother to see the gospel light.

So when the sun sets and the day has gone by, remember that picture , that one in the sky.

You helped to share the burdens of life , the saviors love you shared with delight, each day that goes by, a new picture to share, make the same choice to love and to care.
