Scripture Power

8-15-2011

This week is starting out great.  Even though it is supposed to be 110 degrees all through the week, I am still looking forward to exercising.

Unfortunately, the last couple of days I have been on a sugar binge.  It all started with one soda and it took off from there.  It has really reminded me how much of an addictive personality I have and how important that can be if directed to things of a spiritual nature.   The more I  really focus on doing 30 minutes of scripture study in the morning, the more I can feel an increase of His spirit.  The more I feel His spirit, the happier I am when I see the fruits from reading the scriptures.   The more I see the fruits, the more I want to read!  It's a vicious cycle  (smiley face) - in a GOOD way!!

One thing that has been on my mind lately is the second coming of our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ.  I am so excited for the millennium.  I just pray I am found worthy to learn from the Master for a thousand years on Earth.  Let us all put forth our best efforts to help prepare the way for Him, so we won't have to wait much longer.

Never Forget (Poem)

We must be implicitly thankful in all things,

Regardless of the trials this life brings.

We must be strong and stout,

So our seeds of faith will sprout.

We must follow his ways and do as we're told

And we will always be a part of His fold.

We must not faint as we seek His face,

Only then will we qualify for His grace.

We must forgive seventy times seven,

So we may be able to enter heaven.

We must never forget what was done;

For us, God gave up His Beloved Son.
