The Book of Mormon

I have been reading the Book of Mormon and I am so amazed at how our country and our people are following the same course as those in this book. I read as the kings and judges allowed the bad people and secret combinations to come into their government and then began to take away the most precious thing they had freedom. I see our country and its leaders doing the same thing and it is so very clear to see the bad people they have within their staff. I pray somehow they will decide to make better choices or we will be in for some awful scary times ahead.

I love this country. This is the land the Lord set aside for his plan of happiness to spring from and it requires freedom. May we be strong and stand up when the need and time may arise.

A great day!

We had a wonderful day today, we went to the church cannery in Sac. WE canned Salsa and we had such a good time. What a blessing to be a part of the the Lords church here on earth one that teaches us to help ourselves by preparing for our needs. When we go to the cannery we not only help provide for our own needs but give service to others by helping there. Knowing that the food we cann there goes to those who are in need. It is so nice to be there with all of the ward members.

Amy came along with us for her first trip to this cannery, she really enjoyed it and will be ready to go back again. We are just so thankful to be apart of the Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day saints and the truth of the gospel. Boy this week went so fast ready for another sabath day.

Happiness

Happiness comes in so many ways but for me there are 3 main things that bring me happiness. First this is not in order, Being with my husband and family, Good Food,
and knowing I belong to the same church that Christ organized when he was on the earth. What a comfort and a joy not to speak of great peace that comes. With so much bad stuff going on in the world today, I feel so humbled at all the many gifts of happiness the Lord has given me and our family.

As I read the Book of Mormon and see in Ether where the people of that day made such big mistakes such as allowing bad people to get into thier government by voting them in I see how we are no different than them in that we have allowed some of the same people to get into our government also. The kind of people I am talking about only want it their way and want power, and want to tell us the choices to make instead of allowing us to make our own choices. This is NOT God's way!! The whole reason we are here on this earth is because we wanted to be like our Heavenly Father and by comming here to the earth and recieve a body we could show him by the very gift of happiness he gave us Agency to choose.

I am just so thankful that I have the truth of God's plan of Happiness and pray for our country and our leaders to make better choices than they have thus far, for if they don't and we of this country don't stand up we sill have the same fait and those of the scriptures both the Bible and the Book of Mormon we will be in sore shape. Read the history books.

I daily thank the Lord for the gifts of happiness, he blessese me with and I pray for all of us.
