Oh boy! July sure did sneak up on me! Only now did I realize I haven't updated the blog! Please forgive me sisters!
This month we will all have patriotism at the forefront of our minds. We have just celebrated our nation's birthday and will soon celebrate our Pioneer heritage. I always think of the Title of Liberty during the month of July. I think of what Captain Moroni wrote on it: “In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children.”
What a beautiful message! This world is pretty crazy! It twists and turns according to Satan's wishes and at times we are left wondering what exactly we should think of the conditions we live in. May I suggest that we all follow the formula given by Moroni: First and foremost, God and religion! True freedom comes from resisting evil and being true to the Lord's commandments.
I have never felt more peace than when I am actively trying to better myself through the Gospel. With that peace, I feel I am a better wife and mother. I am able to focus through the "mists of darkness" and hold to the Iron Rod.
So it can be with you, too! Keep your chin up and keep moving forward. Trust the Lord and have courage. He loves you and wants you to succeed!
We love you as well! Happy July!
