I love going to church!

So these last couple of weeks I have really enjoyed Sacrament Meeting. We've had a lot going on with Kevin's mom this month and the topics in Sacrament Meeting have been about overcoming our Goliaths and dealing with our trials. This morning I was really tired and was tempted to just skip Sacrament Meeting, but something told me that I needed to go. I'm so glad that I did. During the Sacrament I was reading my scriptures. I turned to Matthew 11: 28-30. I looked up some of the footnotes:

Ps. 55: 22.
22 Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

Mosiah 2: 41.
41 And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual; and if they hold out faithful to the end they are received into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending happiness. O remember, remember that these things are true; for the Lord God hath spoken it.

D&C 54: 10.
10 And again, be patient in tribulation until I come; and, behold, I come quickly, and my reward is with me, and they who have sought me early shall find rest to their souls. Even so. Amen.

Then the speakers spoke about trials. It was great to hear. I felt instantly comforted. So I'm glad I made myself get up and go to church today!!!!

Oh...and we had 11 kids in nursery today. They just added someone new. And today we were playing Ring Around the Roses and when we had all fallen down the kids came over and jumped on top of me. It was so much fun! I love my kids!!!

Quote of the Week

"We are often left to work out problems, without the dictation or specific direction of the Spirit. That is part of the experience we must have in mortality. Fortunately, we are never out of the Savior's sight, and if our judgement leads us to actions beyond the limits of what is permissible and if we are listening to the still small voice, the Lord will restrain us by the promptings of His Spirit." - Elder Dallin H. Oaks

"We don't have to be perfect today. We don't have to be better than someone else. All we have to do is to be the very best we can." - Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin
