Sunday Reflections: To Be Thankful For A Prophet

Sunday Reflections: To Be Thankful For A Prophet

FROM THE PEN OF ELISA I love listening to General Conference! I love living in a day when prophets and apostles are on the earth! “We thank thee, O God, for a prophet to guide us in these latter days.” As I listen to Conference, I feel immersed in a beautiful spirit of revelation that encourages me to receive my own personal revelation. I feel comfort in the areas of life where I have been wounded or hurt, I feel…

Monday Morning Boost: Smile With Hope

Comments 0 Comment

When life feels extra hard, I take inspiration from my mother. Mom lived most of her life with chronic pain so bad that any movement hurt so much that she wanted to scream. But instead of screaming, she spoke softly. Instead of complaining, she expressed immense gratitude. Instead of mourning what she couldn’t do, she focused on what she could do. Mom replaced the natural tendency for bitterness by focusing intensely on joy. Hope replaced fear. Light replaced dark. Peace…

Each one of those thousands of people was a person who touched others for good… their families,…

To honor those who labor… We play. We head to the lake, the mountains, the parks. We barbecue, watch movies, and sleep in. We camp, ride bikes, paddleboard. To help us play… Many must labor… They work the stores, the gas stations, the drive-thrus. They drive trucks, deliver packages, rescue broken-down vehicles. They patrol the streets, nurse the sick, defend our country. Sometimes we play. Sometimes we labor. Sometimes we do both. Today… however you labor or however you play……

The task must have been daunting. It was the summer of 1985 and Lionel Kendrick of North Carolina and his wife Myrtis were tasked with shepherding several hundred young men and young women who had volunteered for missionary labors. The Kendrick’s were assigned to a geographical area called the Florida Tampa Mission covering most of central and southwest Florida. You’re not just good… In December of that year, I was assigned to the Florida Tampa Mission. I felt as lost as…
