    Joy

    Tonight, an interesting thought came to me: If Christ were to show up on my doorstep and spend the afternoon with me, what would we talk about? He’d want to sit, listen, and hear about what I’ve been doing recently that excites me. What would I tell Him? Would I be able to look through my life and find a topic about which I could talk endlessly, forgetting that I sat in the presence of God, and expound on the intricacies of the topic? What topic, as I describe it, would fill me with joy and exuberance to be talking about it?

    The Coming of Elijah

    Behold, I will reveal unto you the Priesthood, by the hand of Elijah the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. And he shall plant in the hearts of the children the promises made to the fathers, and the hearts of the children shall turn to their fathers. If it were not so, the whole earth would be utterly wasted at his coming. (Joseph Smith - History 1:38-39)

    If you want to associate with angels, you must go to where they are by doing what they are doing. If you do what they do, then they will seek you out, for you will be like them and be one of them, and they will desire to associate with you. They will come to you if you go to them.

    Children's Song

    I am a child of Gods, And They have sent me here; Have given me an earthly home, With parents kind and dear.

    Lead me, guide me, walk beside me, help me find the way. Teach me all that I must be, to live with Them some day.

    I am a child of Gods, And so my needs are great. Help me to understand Their words, Before it grows too late.

    Lead me, guide me, walk beside me, help me find the way. Teach me all that I must be, to live with Them some day.

    I am a child of Gods. Rich blessings are in store! If I but learn to do Their will, I’ll live with Them once more.

    Lead me, guide me, walk beside me, help me find the way. Teach me all that I must be, to live with Them some day.
