JOURNAL JAR TIME!!!
List your favorite scriptures. What makes them your
favorite?
Alma 34:38-41
Each verse has intense advise that I always need to remind
myself but, my favorite of those verses is 41.
“but that ye have patience and bear with those afflictions,
with a firm hope that ye shall one day rest from all your afflictions.”
This verse is even more special to me now that I am
pregnant. Believe me, I am uber grateful that Heavenly Father has entrusted Calin
& I with one of his children. However, being pregnant is hard… Who ever
said being pregnant is beautiful and full of rainbows & puppy dogs was full
of crap. Reading Alma 34:41 whenever I feel like I’m going to lose my mind
(which is quite often) is a wonderful blessing. I am reminded that I will “rest
from all your afflictions”. This promise is the light at the end of my very
long pregnancy tunnel.
Doctrine and Covenants 6:33
“Fear not to do good…”
I was thinking about this verse while watching abc’s show,
What Would You Do? If you haven’t seen it, the premise is basically strangers
are put to the test in public places with awkward situations (put on by
actors). The situations range from boyfriend abusing girlfriend, dad yelling at
child for some dumb reason, or racial/sexist situations. As an audience we
watch hoping that the unknowing strangers will step in & stick up for the “victim”.
I can only hope that if I were ever in that situation, this
scripture would pop into my head…”Fear not to do good”. Would I stick up for
someone in need of help? Would I stop a verbally abusive parent? My answer is
yes. (I’m an optimist) I will not fear to do good.
I just thought this cartoon was hilarious because I'm pretty sure Calin has said those exact words. He is crossing his fingers for an early delivery...
