Hoping your Thursday was thankful. 🙏🩷☺️ I am pondering 1 Kings 3:12—the Lord grants Solomon’s request for an understanding heart; and this from President James E. Faust: If you are willing to pay the price for success, good things, even great things, can happen to you, even beyond your fondest dreams and expectations! We must recognize that our natural gifts and abilities are limited, but when augmented by inspiration and guidance of the Holy Ghost, our potential increases manyfold. You need help from a power beyond your own to do something extraordinarily useful. You can have opportunities and receive blessings beyond your wildest dreams and expectations. Your future may not hold fame or fortune, but it can be something far more lasting and fulfilling. Remember that what we do in life echoes in eternity. Have a blessed and fabulous Friday, my friends. Remember that you are a beloved child of God, our Eternal Father, and let Him prevail in your life. He will do wonders! 🙏🥰

Lovely on a hot day

Hoping your Wednesday was wonderful. 🙏🩷☺️ I am pondering 1 Kings 3:9—Solomon asks the Lord for an understanding heart; and this from Elder Gregory A. Schwitzer: Although the Savior asked us not to judge others, He still expects us to use excellent judgment. Good judgment is needed not only in understanding people but also in facing decisions that often lead us to or away from our Heavenly Father. Many blessings in life are missed because worldly judgment was applied to what was really a spiritual decision.
Good judgment is best learned and practiced within the bounds the Lord sets by His commandments. When we face difficult decisions and follow these guidelines, we can know better how we should judge. The peace that comes from listening to the Holy Spirit removes the fear of making a poor judgment in life. Have a blessed and thankful Thursday, my friends. Remember that you are a beloved child of God, our Eternal Father, and let Him prevail in your life. He will do wonders! 🙏🥰

Hoping your Tuesday was tremendous. 🙏🩷☺️ I am pondering 2 Samuel 12:9—the prophet Nathan tells David exactly why the Lord is displeased; and this from Elder Thomas S. Monson: 
David commenced well the race, then faltered and failed to finish his course...Lust for power, greed of gold, and disdain for honor have ever appeared as faces of failure in the panorama of life. Captivated by their artificial attraction, many noble souls have stumbled and fallen, thus losing the crown of victory reserved for the finisher of life’s great race. Concerning those who fall short, John Greenleaf Whittier’s words seem particularly fitting: “For of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these: ‘It might have been!’” Have a blessed and wonderful Wednesday, my friends. Remember that you are a beloved child of God, our Eternal Father, and let Him prevail in your life. He will do wonders! 🙏🥰
