Scripture reading
So, I have decided to be more diligent in my scripture reading, as I noticed that my days tend to be better, not necessarily that I have no "problems", but that whatever does happpen that isn't "planned" is not such a big deal. Jason and I have picked up a book at the Seagull bookstore called, "Please Pass the Scriptures-from reading to feasting" by John Hilton III. At the end of each chapter, it has assignments, to help us to get the most out of the book. So while Savannah is napping right now, I read out of the BoM, then read a chapter out of the book. My "assignment" is to record some experiences I've had that have taught me the importance of scripture reading. Well, I just realized that I already wrote down one of them, above, about how it makes my day a little better. I must admit though, that I have tended to do my scripture reading more out of duty. I hope that I can utilize my quiet time (Savannah napping time) to read and study and learn from the scriptures. I know that I need to be an anchor in my home to help raise my childeren to know the right from wrong. Also, I need to be an example to them too. How can I expect them to read their scriptures and pray, if I'm not doing it myself? I'm regular with my prayers, I just need to add scripture study to my day.
I am so grateful for the Gospel. I have been strenghthened and comforted this last year, adjusting to motherhood and coping with all those hormones and stuff. I know that these teachings are true. I know that Jesus Christ is my Savior and that He LIVES! I know that I can be with my Family Forever and what great comfort that gives me!
May your day be peaceful and wonderful!
