Testimony

I teach Relief Society in my ward and on Sunday my lesson was on sharing the Gospel. We talked about using the internet to do this. I thought I would practice what I preach :) and share my testimony, one of my greatest treasures.

I am so grateful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The blessings of the Gospel are so incredible and I am so thankful for the tender mercies the Lord gives to me. The Plan of Salvation gives us such purpose and understanding of life and the challenges we face. I am so grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ, for the Atonement and the opportunity to repent and give our heartaches to Him to heal. I know He lived, died and lives again for us. Prayers are heard and answered by a loving Heavenly Father. I know Joseph Smith was a Prophet of God and that he restored the Gospel of Jesus Christ in this dispensation. I thankful for the blessings of the Priesthood which were also restored through Joseph Smith. The Book of Mormon is a precious book of scripture, another testament of Jesus Christ. I am thankful for a living Prophet on the earth today, Pres. Thomas S. Monson. The words of the Prophets give us such hope and direction in life. I am grateful for the knowledge that families can be forever. My family is such a great blessing in my life and I love them all very much. I know the religion to which I belong is true.

If you have a testimony and a blog, I challenge you to post it. If you would like to know more, contact me and I will let you know how you can find out for yourself.

“May God enable us to perform our vows and covenants with each other, in all fidelity and righteousness before Him, that our influence may be felt among the nations of the earth, in mighty power,…" Joseph Smith

It was a really hard night for me and it was good to have you and Steve there to share my emotions with. Thanks for being there in all of our times of need and through our joys. I have grown to love and appreciate you and Steve so much. Thanks again..
