Jesus Declares the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares

This parable tells of our Father's plan:

The good seeds are come of the Son of Man

Born of God's kingdom, they are the wheat

Prepared and planted among Satan's seeds

Which are tares, disceptively, so, until the end

When the angel's great harvest will begin

And all those who offend or do iniquity

Will be burned with the tares, all,  for equity

Though there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth

For God, the Son of Man will have saved the good wheat

What Satan Can and Cannot Do

As President Boyd K. Packer taught this morning, Satan cannot directly take a life. That is one of many things he cannot do. But apparently his effort to stop the work will be reasonably well served if he can just bind the tongue of the faithful. Brethren, if that is the case, I am looking tonight for men young and old who care enough about this battle between good and evil to sign on and speak up. We are at war, and for these next few minutes, I want to be a one-man recruiting station.

Do I need to hum a few bars of “We Are All Enlisted”? You know, the line about “We are waiting now for soldiers; who’ll volunteer?” Of course, the great thing about this call to arms is that we ask not for volunteers to fire a rifle or throw a hand grenade. No, we want battalions who will take as their weapons “every word that proceedeth forth from the mouth of God.” So I am looking tonight for missionaries who will not voluntarily bind their tongues but will, with the Spirit of the Lord and the power of their priesthood, open their mouths and speak miracles. Such speech, the early brethren taught, would be the means by which faith’s “mightiest works have been, and will be, performed.”

Satan cannot take a life
Nor can he stop "the work"
He can lure us away from light
And turn each into a jerk

He can bind up the tongue
That some miracles cease
As there is much to be done
Our efforts must increase

Do Not Go Backward

Do not go backward on the Lord
In this thing you cannot afford
Be assured you will be taken
Snared by Satan fallen, shaken

Isa. 28: 13

13 But the word of the Lord was

Reflecting on the Savior

Kindles our fire of faith

It strengthens us to labor

And endure what we must face

Kindles a fire of faith

The Pit of Sin

A woman walking about
Fell into a pit so deep
She had no way to get out
And laid down and began to weep

A lone person chanced to walk by
She raised herself up and cried out for help
He saw immediately what to try
And lowered a ladder and went down himself

The Only Begotten provides the means
That we might escape from the pit
When we sin, repentance is what we need
To call upon the Lord and profit

“A [woman] walking along a road fell into a pit so deep [she] could not climb out. No matter what [she] did, [she] could not get out by [herself]. The [woman] called for help and rejoiced when a kind passerby heard [her] and lowered a ladder down into the pit. This allowed [her] to climb out of the pit and regain [her] freedom.

“We are like the [woman] in the pit. Sinning is like falling into the pit, and we can’t get out by ourselves. Just as the kind passerby heard the [woman’s] cry for help, Heavenly Father sent his Only Begotten Son to provide the means of escape. Jesus Christ’s atonement could be compared to lowering a ladder into the pit; it gives us the means to climb out.”¹⁰ But the Savior does more than lower the ladder, He “comes down into the pit and makes it possible for us to use the ladder to escape.”¹¹ “Just as the [woman] in the pit had to climb up the ladder, we must repent of our sins and obey the gospel principles and ordinances to climb out of our pit and make the Atonement work in our lives. Thus, after all we can do, the Atonement makes it possible for us to become worthy to return to Heavenly Father’s presence.”¹²

Is Faith in the Atonement of Jesus Christ Written in Our Hearts?

By Linda K. Burton

Relief Society General President

If you click on the label the pit of sin I also have a man who falls into a pit. Both are based on the Primary lesson...

Thou Knows!

May Thy laws and truths be written
Deep within my heart,
And may I, through Thee, be forgiven
As I do my part

Let faith be rooted deep within my soul
As added marrow to my bones
May the atonement cleanse me whole
As all my troubles, Thou, Lord knows!

Is Faith in the Atonement of Jesus Christ Written in Our Hearts?

By Linda K. Burton

Relief Society General President

Making, keeping, and rejoicing in our covenants will be the evidence that the Atonement of Jesus Christ is truly written in our hearts.

Always Words to Live By

Always, keep a prayer in your heart
Look for the blessings that impart
Always, ponder upon the truth
Be a living example, as proof

Always, remember who you are
With God you've promise to go far
When there is a glitch, do your best
And believe it will pass. It is a test...and try to get some rest.

Both the old and the young
Had to endure and overcome
Starvation and chill
Faith kept them going, still...

With that being said
Who would do it again?
Imagine the dread
Winter was not a friend

A simple man answered the call
He had met many crossroads
He was prepared to give his all
He took meat and oil on his load

He administered like an angel
And saved many from near death
Frozen, their lives seemed to dangle
In need of hope to warm their breath

It was a perfect reminder of the faith of our pioneers!  Awesome movie!

The Wolves

A trainer of wolves fixed
And kept them locked in a pen
A deer stood outside transfixed
Though they were not in the open

It stood mesmerized
He shooed it away
Then, he could not believe his eyes
More came the next day

They encircled the pen
Staring, silently entranced
I learned something, then
Upon some things you must not glance

Beware of those
Who seek to catch your eye
You must suppose
They will tempt you awry

“And behold, all that he requires of you is to keep his commandments; and he has promised you that if ye would keep his commandments ye should prosper in the land; and he never doth vary from that which he hath said; therefore, if ye do keep his commandments he doth bless you and prosper you.

“And now, in the first place, he hath created you, and granted unto you your lives, for which ye are indebted unto him.

“And secondly, he doth require that ye should do as he hath commanded you; for which if ye do, he doth immediately bless you; and therefore he hath paid you. And ye are still indebted unto him, and are, and will be, forever and ever.” (Mosiah 2:22–24.)

Grace

God's grace is an enabling power,
A strength, a gift to unwrap
That teaches us in faith's hour
We feel God near, as we ask

By His grace we are saved
After all we can do
Through prayer the way is paved
And we are blessed anew

The sorrow of the penitent
Finds a place where he might lay
All his sins to be repentant
And the Lord shows him the way

Through the merits of Christ, alone
We are changed from a state of sin
He has the power to atone
We can feel His spirit within

Taps history told by John Wayne

It was a sweltering day
Every scent and stench hung, heavy
Here seven thousand soldiers lay
All of them, fallen men, too many

The roar of the cannons had ceased
The hills were covered in blood
As darkness enclosed from the east
A colonel arose from above

His bugle was slowly, gently raised
He played what he had just composed
And expressed the feelings on this day
The cry of the lone heart exposed

In God We Trust

At any stage
The rains can flood
And storms can rage
On crops we love

Reminding us
Much can go wrong
To place our trust
And care in God

She Brightened Up the Day

She brightened up the day

President Dieter F. Uchtdorf said that he remembers President Monson saying, “I could not have asked for a more loyal, loving and understanding companion.” He said that whenever he spoke of the mighty power of wives and mothers, “I knew he was thinking of his companion, Frances.”

He remembered visiting the grave of a missionary in Germany with the Monsons on a day of truly terrible weather. “We could not have picked a worst day,” he said. “Sister Monson was standing next to her husband in the pouring rain, barely protected by an overwhelmed umbrella, but there she was with a calm, smile brightening up the day with kindness…in a way that cannot be expressed.”

Paying Tribute

The highest way to pay tribute

To one who has passed through the veil

Is to express deep gratitude

For the life that they lived so well

While it is a time of sorrow
Gladness can be felt that is rich

From memories that we can all borrow

Abiding lessons that serve to enrich

President Henry B. Eyring said that, “While this is a time of sorrow, it is also a time gladness for Sister Monson had a rich and rewarding life. The highest tribute to those who have passed through the veil is not grief, but gratitude.”

Margaret Thatcher's Eulogy to Ronald Reagan

He mended America
Through grace under pressure
He through a miracle
Improved the free world we treasure

He was candid and tough
Of firm mind, an example
Rooted in humor and trust
He lifted nations and people

In the midst of great terror
When hysteria could rise
He inspired hearts to be tender
And brought down walls and built ties

He transformed the economy
Turned enemies into friends
His accomplishments were many
The best, his example he lends

He had providence with him
As from God's word, he often spoke
We know that this great pilgrim
Knew Heaven's welcome as dawn broke

President Bush responded to Reagan's death in Paris, France, where he is on tour to honor the heroes of World War II on the weekend of the 60th anniversary of the D-Day invasion.

"He leaves behind a nation he restored and a world he helped save. During the years of President Reagan, America laid to rest an era of division and self-doubt, and, because of his leadership, the world laid to rest an era of fear and tyranny," Bush said. (Bush statement)

Bush's father, former President George H.W. Bush, said "history will give Reagan great credit for standing for principles."

"It was wonderful the way that he could take a stand, and do it without bitterness or without creating enmity with other people," said the elder Bush, who was Reagan's vice president.

Mercy Cannot Rob Justice

Mercy cannot be made
To rob justice
Repentance must be paid
Unto Jesus

Chapter 42

Mortality is a probationary time to enable man to repent and serve God—The Fall brought temporal and spiritual death upon all mankind—Redemption comes through repentance—God Himself atones for the sins of the world—Mercy is for those who repent—All others are subject to God’s justice—Mercy comes because of the Atonement—Only the truly penitent are saved.

To put another first
And let all fears go

One gunman turned himself in
It did not take him long
For his conscience burned within

Cedar Rapids, Iowa 10-Year-Old Hero Shot Protecting Mom From Gunmen “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” – John 15:13 Masked gunmen broke into 10-year-old Cameron’s house and proceeded to point a gun directly in his mother’s face. Cameron, without hesitation, tackled one of the men, at which point the gun was fired, ripping through the 10-year-old’s forearm. Leaving him and his mother, the gunmen fled the scene, seemingly aware of the reality of what they had just done. Fortunately Cameron will be fine, his wound was fairly minor and he doesn’t regret a moment of his bravery. He says he knows that God was protecting him and his mother that day, and it certainly would seem that way.

Armor-Clad Mayor Asks City: ‘Who’s Willing To Fight For Stockton?’ « CBS Sacramento

With a mace raised way up high,
He asked, "Who's willing to fight?
For this city, to try
To restore it from crime!"

Then he looked all around
And asked, "Who's left their ego?
Volunteers must be found...
And, (oops...) all your guns must go!"  (Uh, No!)

Oh, and please be notified
That taxes must increase
Filling courts with more tried
Which the jails will release....

Make each neighbor known

And a show of guns would help?

It is fitting that we celebrate
Our mothers on the Sabbath day
And express how we appreciate
All the sacrifices she has made

For without her where would we be?
And without Christ where would we go?
Our ties go on for eternity
Because of our Savior, I know!

All I am

All I am I owe to Eve
The mother of all living
For us, she fell, I believe
Selflessly, she was giving

All I am I owe also
To my mother who gave me birth
Who taught me all I know
About honesty and self worth

All I am I owe to Christ
Who one day will call me home
To live eternal life
With all the mothers known

The Giving of Flesh and Blood

The offering of flesh
And life giving blood
Sent selflessly to bless
What lies as a bud

Spirit then to come
And enter therein

Soon independent

Motherhood is formed
Midst the dividing of cells
Through love it is flamed
Life warmly within swells

Life, safely preserved
In a protective womb
With water reserved
For the babe to bloom

Naught else can compare
To the love of our Savior
Laboring to bare
That all our sins be paid for

The load became so heavy
He sweat great drops of blood
Then, He gave up His body
That rebirth burst, a flood

Of flesh and blood, in Him
We now can be reborn
To feel His love within
I've thanks for all He bore
