Brrr

I thought that spring was here!  Well, not today!  We have had snow, hail and rain.  As soon as we blew in from church I started a fire in my cook stove.  I love cooking on my stove so I was rather pleased to start it up again. It not only warms my great room (kitchen, and family room) but it warms my heart. 

Today in Relief Society we studied repentance and forgiveness.  I am so greatful for the principal of repentance.  We talked about what we need to do to retain a remission of our sins from day to day, so that we can walk guiltless before God. The scriptures say we need to impart our substance to the poor, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the sick and administer to their relief...spiritually and temporally. I know that there are so many out there that need our help, but I also thought that we do those things daily in our own homes, to our own families. So maybe all things begin at home and spread outward, because the verse also says all these things need to be done in wisdom and order. God is a God of order.  So that made me think that when I repent of something and I recieve forgivness that I can retain that forgivness as I daily serve my family in His name.  It warms my heart.

I sought my soul,

   But mysoul I could not see.

I sought my God,

   Bur my God eluded me.

I soughet my brother,

   And I found all three
