In the beginning of Helaman 12 it talks a lot about our Heavenly Father needing to chasten his people or us in order for us to come unto Him.

-How true is that in my life? Do I need trial and tribulations to come into my life in order for me to worship God as I ought to or do I obey Him and do my best do always be with Him and always be doing His will? I'm not perfect but I feel I do a good job at it.

It's interesting that we are nothing and yet everything to God.
-We mean so much to Him. I know that He loves me so much and that He wants the best for me and for me to return to live with Him again regardless of how sinful and disobedient I am.

I am so thankful for the doctrine and the scripture and for the opportunity I get each morning to read and learn from the words of my God. I want to be better and do better every day.

Blessing- We have had some beautiful weather.

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...
