Good Tidings
“If life and its rushed pace and many stresses have made it difficult for you to feel like rejoicing, then perhaps now is a good time to refocus on what matters most.
“Strength comes not from frantic activity but from being settled on a firm foundation of truth and light. It comes from placing our attention and efforts on the basics of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. It comes from paying attention to the divine things that matter most.” Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Roots and Branches
Each time I set aside my endless “to do” list and use that dedicated time to work on my family history, I’m blessed with special surprises. Not only do I enjoy an easing of my burdens, but I find hidden treasures and truths.
Don’t Let the Kinship Sink
Family is the sweetest gift from a loving Father. Family is people who can lift and support us. It is those we cling to for comfort when our hearts get broken and the world feels too harsh. Of course, because we are so intimately connected in a family, it can also be the greatest source of hurt. That’s the challenge; that’s the opportunity to learn and grow.
