Jacob 5:51, "And the Lord said: Yea, I will spare it a little longer, for it grieveth me that I should lose the trees of my vineyard."

The Lord will work hard to make sure that everything in His kingdom is taken care of. He doesn't just give up on it or His children He has sent her to teach others about it. I love the last sentence when it says "it grieveth me" it shows that my Father in Heaven truly cares about each of us and that He wants the best for us. He is sad when people fall away from the Church, don't do what He has asked or listen to His guidance and counsel.
What do we all need to do better to hear His word? How can we improve our life to have the spirit with us more abundantly in order to be more open and willing to listen and change.
Change can sometimes be the hardest part of lives. God requires us all to change our lives and become more like His Son Jesus Christ.

Blessing: To be able to go to church at work each Sunday so I don't miss out on taking the sacrament.

Heber J.

The Lord has said it is our duty to teach our children in their youth, and I prefer to take His word for it rather than the words of those who are not obeying His commandments.. I may know that the gospel is true, and so may my wife; but I want to tell you that your children will not know that the gospel is true, unless they study it and gain a testimony for themselves. Parents are deceiving themselves in imagining that their children will be born with a knowledge of the gospel." (Richard O. Cowan, The Church in the Twentieth Century, p. 319)*...

Gordon B. Hinckley said, "We all do a lot of studying, but most of us don't do much meditation. We don't take time to think. I'd like to suggest that next fast day . . . everybody in this hall set aside an hour or two. Sit by yourself. Go in the bedroom and lock the door. Go out in the yard under a tree. Go in your study if you have one and shut the door, and think about yourself and your worthiness. Read from this great book [Book of Mormon]...There's a great word that's used, 'ponder.' "'Ponder.' What do we mean by 'ponder'? Well, I think it simply means kind of quietly thinking things through. Ponder what you have read. Ponder your life. Are you worthy, are you living the commandments...?" (Church News, 01/06/96) -Christ commanded them to; 1. " ponder upon the things which I have said, 2. ask the Father, in my name, that ye many understand, 3. prepare your minds for the morrow ," (3 Nephi 17:3) -The thing...
