Move Ahead --

Positive thinking - even when you feel like a weed.  Think differently.

A weed can be a flower when it is wanted, a flower can be a weed when it is not wanted.

Prepare

Usually, I use other people's words but this time I am using a picture that made me think.  It doesn't show what I saw very well so I will put my thoughts here.

This wash has a road on both sides of the wash - the right side or shaded side is clear and ready , the left side wouldn't allow anything but an off road vehicle down it.

We can't prepare for everything, but we should at least try to have emergency roads open and ready.  Prayer is one - we may not use it as often as we should, but it would be good to know how at the very least.

I have seen many alleyways in our neighborhood that is for emergency vehicles to get closer to homes and trees are growing up in the middle of the road.  Can you imagine how long it would take a firetruck if it had to cut down a tree first.

OK my words aren't saying what I want to say.  

What is the key to preparation?

• Preparation is essential, not optional
• Being prepared saves time and money
• Failing to anticipate puts you at a competitive disadvantage (and in danger)

As an example here are some thoughts about preparing for an earth quake ... what is it in your life that could happen and how could you prepare?

1. Secure your space by identifying hazards and securing moveable items.

2. Plan to be safe by creating a disaster plan and deciding how you will communicate in an emergency.

3. Organize disaster supplies in convenient locations.

4. Minimize financial hardship by organizing important documents, strengthening your property, and considering insurance.

 

Reward of Righteousness

"Learn that he who doeth the works of righteousness shall receive his reward, even peace in this world, and eternal life in the world to come."

( Doctrine & Covenants 59:23 )

Adjustment/Light

"When darkness creeps into our lives, as it often does, our daily restoration opens our hearts to heavenly light, which illuminates our souls, chasing away shadows, fears, and doubts."  

(Daily Restoration     By Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf)

"We need an ongoing, daily infusion of heavenly light. We need “times of refreshing.” Times of personal restoration."

 

Open your eyes - and see.

The scriptures can fill the reader with joy as they received inspiration, direction, consolation, strength, and answers to their needs.

Open your eyes - and see, open your heart - and feel, open your mind - and learn.

Positive Thoughts

 “I have the power to accomplish everything I set out to do today.”

Positive thoughts are important...

We are children of God, and all the creations are for our good and enjoyment.

Hope

 "And what is it that ye shall hope for?  Behold I say unto you that ye shall have hope through the atonement of Christ and the power of his resurrection, to be raised unto life eternal, and this because of your faith in him according to the promise."                            

Moroni 7:41
