Hay-day Headache!

Sometimes I find my mind wandering off in all sorts of directions. I'm sure you can relate. I've discovered that my mind is constantly flowing like a river. Every once in a while, my imagination will take hold upon what was simply a passive thought and turn it into a new jumble of crazy thoughts! When this happens, it's nice to just take a step back and see things clearly. It's comforting to know that those outrageous thoughts, in actuality, are not truth! Satan is the father of all lies. We must pay attention to our thoughts, because our thoughts essentially turn into action! 

Hay-day Headache!

Satan's having a hay-day,

he's dancing around inside.

All these thoughts of negativity,

are pounding around, all lies!

The whisperings and wary confusion

can't compare, there's no disillusion,

to the peace and truthful solution,

It brings me to this conclusion;

When Satan's having a hay-day,

when there's banging pots and pans,

To quiet all the clatter,

I need to bow my head and clasp my hands.

When opposition is tight in line,

God the Father of all mankind,

Calms the conjured storms

of my silly mind. 

~ Sister Janel A. Lewis 

I love the sweet peace that comes with prayer. I know that if we continually turn to our Father in Heaven for guidance and direction, we will not be deceived by the adversary. We all have the freedom to choose! 

"Men... have become free forever, knowing good from evil: to act for themselves... they are free to choose liberty and eternal life, through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil" 2 Nephi 2:26-27

Restoration- to bring back what was once present!

The Restoration

In every early
dispensation
God has seeked  
to bless His Children

He has called prophets
like Abraham and Noah
To spread the "Good News" 
to all the Earth! 

Oh what good news
we have cherished
of our Saviors sacrifice!

Yet when men are greedy
or proud and lofty
the prophets voice we
harken not.

We fall into opposition
or a state of apostasy,
where Gods Priesthood Authority 
is no longer on the Earth!

For everything good
there is opposition
While God seeks to bless
Satan seeks our destruction.

But when we harken
to a prophets voice
we are filled with peace,
joy and happiness at our choice!

God loves His children
so he send prophets
to testify of truth
and to cry repentance.

After the dark ages,
also known as the Apostasy, 
God again reached out
to bless His Children.

 








Because God loves families 
and He wants them to last forever,
He has restored the Gospel
in this Last Dispensation!

Our Savior and Father in Heaven
both came down and 
answered Joseph Smith's
humble and heartfelt prayer!

Yes what Glorious 
perfect love hath our Father 
and His only Begotten Son
That in answer to prayer they did come!
 
He had inquired about
which church to join,
which one had the 
fullness of the Gospel truth?

In reply he 
received and answer
that on the Earth 
not was there.

Joseph was called
as a modern day prophet
to restore the fullness
of the Gospel to the Earth!

Now we can worship 
and Glorify Father 
In the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-Day Saints!

I testify, with all my heart,
I know Joseph Smith
is a prophet of God.

The Priesthood Authority, 
the power to act in Gods name,
is again, upon the Earth!

You too can know
of the truthfulness of 
the Restoration!

Don't  hesitate to 
ask  the question,
But send a plea
to your Father in Heaven.

Part of Who I Am

Part of Who I Am

To every thing

there is reason to reflect,

What was the cause,

did it have an effect?

Was eating a cookie

a sin in itself?

Or was the guilt later

the threat to my health?

Was the smile I smiled

as I waved to a friend,

a conscious deed a kindness

or a part of who I am? 

Do the actions I take

really say all that much? 

In the grand scheme of things,

is what I do enough?

Do the words I say,

read and listen to each day

uplift and strengthen,

or shy positive feelings away?

And what I do with truth,

whether it's relish, treasure and reflect, 

Do I place a priority 

on sharing my Heavenly wealth?

For above all else

we know the greatest blessings come

from sharing not our worldly shrine,

but of testifying of that which is most sublime! 
~Sister Janel A. Lewis

The thoughts that we think, the actions we take, and how we turn outward to bless others is truly what determines whether or not we are following in the Saviors footsteps!  

I am SO thankful for a very loving Father in Heaven who has blessed me with the opportunities that I have been given in life. He has blessed me with the knowledge of who I am, where I came from, why I am here on Earth, and how I can act in Faith and return to live with my family and my Father in Haven for all Eternity! This life is a time to progress! God doesn't expect us to be perfect, but He wants us to continually look forward with hope! I testify that our Savior did come to this Earth. He did atone for our sins. Because of His perfect love, we can return to live with our Father in Heaven again! By following our Savior Jesus Christ, we can find more lasting joy and peace in this life, and Salvation in the life to come!
