Hard as things seem today, they will be better in the next day if you choose to serve the Lord this day with your whole heart.

Life....

Over the weekend my hubby and I saw The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.  I really liked the quote from it:

To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, to draw closer, to find each other and to feel. That is the purpose of life.

Days to Christmas {Free Countdown Printables}

I know it's not Christmas yet. Forgive me for posting these before Thanksgiving (gasp.) I know. But I wanted to give you time to print and frame them before December 1st rolls around.

How to use the free countdown printables: print them (at a photo center or at home or at a copy center)

Frame and write the days to Christmas directly on the glass (with a dry erase marker.)

OR 

you can also just put them in a plastic page protector and write directly on that as well.

Either way, I hope you enjoy them :)

All the countdowns are 8x10.

When we put God first...

This has been one of my all time favorite quotes. It was my mantra throughout college and I still find my mind wanders to it without me even realizing it (does that make sense?!). I love it!

When we put God first, all other things fall into their proper place or drop out of our lives. Our love of the Lord will govern the claims for our affection, the demands on our time, the interests we pursue, and the order of our priorities.

There is but one plan of happiness...

If it's not obvious- I just loved this talk from General Conference!

President Eyring said the following: 

Heavenly Father has made each of us unique. 

No two of us have exactly the same experiences. No two families are alike. 

So it is not surprising that advice 

about how to choose happiness in family life is hard to give. 

A loving Heavenly Father has set the same path to happiness for all of His children. Whatever our personal characteristics or whatever will be our experiences, there is but one plan of happiness. That plan is to follow all the commandments of God. -President Henry B. Eyring

Could and Would

A little back story for this quote. President Eyring shared at general conference:

Years ago a friend of mine spoke of his grandmother. She had lived a full life, always faithful to the Lord and to His Church. Yet one of her grandsons chose a life of crime. He was finally sentenced to prison. My friend recalled that his grandmother, as she drove along a highway to visit her grandson in prison, had tears in her eyes as she prayed with anguish, “I’ve tried to live a good life. Why, why do I have this tragedy of a grandson who seems to have destroyed his life?”

The answer came to her mind in these words:

There is a wonderful lesson for us all. The way for loving parents and grandparents and all of God’s servants will not be easy in a decaying world. We cannot force God’s children to choose the way to happiness. God cannot do that because of the agency He has given us.

God has devised means to save each of His children. For many, that involves being placed with a brother or a sister or a grandparent who loves them no matter what they do.
