He Can

The Lord can shoulder alone
The weight of fallen men
And every sin ever known
For He was and is, "ALL IN!"

100% committed
He did not back out

God's Commandments

God's commandments
Are of stone not of sand
His laws do not shift
But permanently stand

No Matter

No matter your story
Come unto Christ
He is the way to glory
Eternal, to rise

Passing

A passing thought-
Comes out of thin air
Filled.  We are taught
And we know God is THERE!

Have you ever said something random and then realized it was inspiration? 

Doubt

Jesus doesn't ignore the doubt
The agony of grief
He awaits to lift those who are down
And restore them to belief

Thinking of doubting Thomas and how his grief must have magnified as he felt left out because he wasn't there when Jesus first showed himself.

Lessons Build in Pain

God can take our pain
And turn it to our good
A lesson to gain
That builds with gratitude

Light. Love and Warmth

The light, love and warmth
You've been seeking for
Is found in the arms
Of the living Lord

Live the golden rule

Live the golden rule
Be a light that's grand
You can be a tool
In the Savior's hand

Live the golden rule
No matter who you are
Life is beautiful
When you spread His light afar

Mountains

Mountains of doubt and despair
Can be removed and replaced
Turn to the Lord and His care
Embrace His love and His grace

Bottled Up

I was bottled up
No thoughts, I'd share
Till I burst, enough
So freed, I care

Forgive Quickly

Forgive quickly
Like Jesus, our friend
Even though, sickly,
They might do it again

Pondering the words from April 2019 President Eyring spoke about the family and forgiving even as Joseph Smith who did so knowing the attackers might attack again.

Tune In

When multiple voices
Compete all at once
We must make our own choices
Weighed with our needs and our wants

For the direction we seek
And the strength that we need
Let's tune to God's Word
Through the spirit He's heard

Listen

Let's listen
with the intent to obey
Our prophet
Has been given words to say

Pondering Elder Anderson
April Conference 2019

Faith
Patience
Diligence

Keeping the laws of God
Even if feeling forgotten and alone

Blessed with eternal friends
Holy ghost and shine with loving approval

Home Can Be a Holy Place

Home can be a holy place
Where we can feel as one
Where we can make loving space
For the living Son
Based on notes from conference talk President Erying April 2019

Pride, stopped sharing
contention, envy, strife, robbers, hate murders,

Teach in homes to love God so there be no ites, not above another, not better
Love of God_ come unto Him, faith in Him
Happy! Blessed, prospered, risen to a spiritual place

Underlying cause of contention is Satan
Pride- Humility-
Rivalry-  help each other out
Hate.  Love
Desire to do good
Repentance

Ponder and pray and mention this need for love in the home
Take heart- others will remember

Racked- heard father's words
Mercy- gall of bitterness, harrowed up by sins no more.

Temple
Hope children to love together forever
Being faithful qualifies us

Prayer reaches across the world
Keeping family together

Better Natures

Uncover for them
Their better nature's
The Spirit within
Confirms and assures
