Mercy

I man had a heard of cows, and he gave one of the calves to his son.  One night there was a storm, and the next day his son went to look for his calf.  He couldn't find his calf in the heard, but he found that the storm had blown down the fence; and then he noticed the neighbor to the south had branded his cows that morning, and the boys calf and its mother had wandered into the neighbor heard in the night and now wore the neighbors brand on their side.

The boy went to his father and explained what he had found.

The wise father said, we have 2 choices:

1.  We can go to the neighbor, and try to explain what happened, and try to get the cows back, it would be his word against ours, and would defiantly cause strife between us for years to come.

2.  We can not mention it to him, I can give you the next calf we get, and we can keep the relationship we have with the neighbor.

The son thought for a min. and then said they should do #2.

In doing so, the neighbor never knew about the mistake, but the young boy will never forget the lesson learned.  And hundreds have been in awe at the Christ like mercy extend by the faithful farmer to a neighbor who never knew he had done wrong.

Forgiveness

There is no true forgiveness without forgetting.

Savior

We must come to know the Savior as our mediator; when the debt comes due the Savior will step forward for those he knows, the mediator can only pay a debt for his friends... We do not want to hear the words "I know ye not"

I don't need to know everything.

I don't know everything; but I to know where to find it...

Endure the storms of Life.

It seems the storms of life have both a physical / spiritual side.

 

Communication    Ham radio, cell phone   /   Prayer

Food                     Meals   /   Word of God

Water        1 gallon per person per day  /  Faith in Jesus Christ   (a little each day, not a whole lake one year and nothing the next year.)

Personal items       Clothing   /   Testimony, Journal, Spiritual gifts

Shelter        Maintain temperature, protection from the elements    /   covenants, obedience

Sanitation            First Aid    /   Repentance   (both daily and accident)

Light          replenish the power source   /   Spirit

Documents              cash, insurance, zipdrive, list of valuables, marriage license   /    Tithing, offerings, donations, temple recommend

Testimony

The gospel of Jesus Christ is short, sweet, and simple.

A simple principle of the gospel, followed by a personal testimony of it, will have a profound influence on all involved.

Steps to becoming more spiritual

1.  Seek the spirit.

2.  Live worthy of the spirit.

3.  Give gratitude after you receive spiritual experiences.

Everyone brightens a room!

Some by their entry, and some by their departure. 

Let your light so shine.

Life

Do not let life take you for a ride, you grab the wheel and control your destinations...

Character

Our character will show how we responded to the collaboration of life's experiences.

Opportunity

The reason some people don't recognize opportunity is because it often is disguised as hard work.

Faith

Faith to move mountains is faith to get a shovel and a wheel barrow and start digging!

Always knowing God will help you.

God says it....

If God says it, I believe it, and that settles it.
