5 Scriptures That Changed Me ~ #LIGHTtheWORLD

I’m so happy and blessed to be taking part in the beautiful Mormon.org Christmas campaign, Light the World. Not only is it an opportunity for me to reflect on my feelings about Christ and all He has done, and DOES for me, but it’s a chance for me to write about one of my most favorite topics… the scriptures. Jesus read the scriptures. He loved them. And, as I have incorporated the scriptures in my life, I have come to love them too. They teach me. They answer my prayers. They bring me closer to God. They change me.

Knowing the background of the Christmas symbols makes them even more meaningful and special. This family night lesson will help you discover the symbolism behind a collection of popular Christmas symbols. It will bring new meaning to the season as you realize your are surrounded by beautiful reminders of God's love, peace, family, and hope. Get the whole lesson on www.orsoshesays.com.

But, every time I started to write about something festive and fun, I felt prompted instead to talk about finding peace. One of the most beautiful messages of the Savior’s birth is that he came to this world to be the Prince of Peace.

The other night, I probably spent a couple hours pinning ideas for involving my kids in General Conference to a designated General Conference Pinterest board.

So, what is General Conference? So, let me tell you… in case you’re wondering, in case you’re interested, or in case you’re bored and need something to read…

24 of the BEST General Conference Talks of All Time

LDS General Conference is coming up again on April 2nd and 3rd, and I can’t wait! I love General Conference because it’s a time we get to hear from our prophet and church leaders and enjoy a spiritual feast! No matter what I’m struggling with at the time, I always seem to find comfort and answers by listening to the General Conference messages. The conference is broadcast on television and radio and everyone is invited to watch or listen. Even if you aren’t a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, there is so much shared through the music and talks at General Conference that can enlighten and uplift you as a person.

Dealing With Depression ~ A Knot at the End of My Rope

I am not certain why I shared this, other than I felt it was necessary for me to do so. If I can reach even one person who may feel like letting go, and convince them to knot their rope, then I will consider this message a success. Depression and anxiety are intensely personal and the events that I described represent some of the darkest and most painful moments of my life. I do not claim to be any sort of an expert on the subject of mental illness, at least not any more so than the millions of other people who either have gone through it could lay claim to such.

Hey friends! Did you know LDS General Conference is coming up on April 4th and 5th?? I’m so excited! (What is General Conference, you ask? Follow this link where Mariel gives a great explanation.) I always get excited for General Conference because I know that I will come out of it feeling spiritually uplifted and strengthened, with a determination to be a better person. I think that it’s pretty great, but I know that getting your kids to understand the “awesomeness” of General Conference can be a challenge. I mean, it isn’t exactly like you’re sitting them down in front of their favorite movie for two hours! While it may not be the most excited thing they’ve ever watched on TV, there is a wealth of spiritual messages being shared that they CAN learn something from.

Building A Bow Like Nephi – Family Night Lesson (she: Adelle)

When faced with a job, chore, or trial, we can choose to be like Nephi. He was a man who would “Go and do.” He didn’t murmur or complain.

We Are MORE (he: Dan)

As far back as I can recall, I was taught to treat others as I have would them treat me. I grew up with the understanding that all men were created equally precious in the sight of God, that He was no respecter of persons, and that everyone we interact with was to be given our respect and love.

I believed in what I was taught. I have always known in faith that we are spirit children of God and have an infinite capacity for good. Occasionally I get a glimpse of the love He must feel for us.
