We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; in deed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul ... if there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

Heavenly Father you promised …



The Old Testament, the Book of the Prophet Isaiah especially, is full of prophecy of a savior to come. Isaiah lived more than 600 years before the Christ child was born. That is more than six life times. I think about things I would like to happen in my life – things I pray for. If it takes more than a week, a month, a year I’m like, Heavenly Father you promised …” I get so impatience anymoew. In my youth I could wait forever for things. I’m older now. My husband is gone on before me. My children are grown, and have children and grandchildren of their own. I’m getting close to the end of the race. I’m not patience anymore. I want what I want when I want it and yet I there is so much to do and look forward to.
The Savior came, made sacrifice for us and went back home for there is much to do there. He will come again as surely as he came the first time. I may be gone by then but the results are the same. I’ve lived my life the way I’ve lived my life. I’ve made mistakes and repented and fallen again. I can’t change a thing from the past, all I have is today – this moment to live the best I can and be grateful for the wonderful blessings given me moment to moment. Thank you Father. Thank you for your son Jesus Christ who made it possible for me to repent and come home to you when it is my time.
