all the difference



"And again, behold I say unto you that he cannot have faith and hope, save he shall be meek and lowly of heart. If so, his faith ahd hope is vain, for none is acceptable before God, save hte meek and lowly in heart; and if a man be meek and lowly n heart, and confesses by the power of the Holy Ghost that Jesus is the Christ, he must needs have charity; for if he have not charity his is nothing; wherefore he must needs have charity." Moroni 7:43-44

Each person on earth was born to perform a distinct mission. Faith is requisite in this task and to be saved in our Father's kingdom. This requires meekness or a willingness to do the will of the Father. Additionally, humility or lowliness of heart before our Father in Heaven allow us to be receptive to His will. Is this easy? Maybe; maybe not. I do know that most things worth accomplishing are difficult, but the rewards and fulfillment from completing difficult tasks is so much greater than taking the easy road.


The Road Less Traveled
Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference

Reading the scriptures and keeping this journal are my delight. I do not keep an online journal to preach to anyone but myself. I like this format, because I can add pictures and correct my writing easier. If you enjoy reading it, I am happy. If you feel offended, please, realize it is not my intention to offend but to teach myself. No negative comments will not be published.
