You Can Sit With Us

I have found one of the best ways to grow in our faith and believe that we are loved by our Savior is to have a thankful heart. When we start really grasping the love of God, we begin to live from a heavenly perspective instead of an earthly one. We know that our circumstances,…

In the book of Psalms it says that we are fearfully and wonderfully made…. your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex. Your workmanship is marvelous.  I began thinking about my relationships and why I gravitate towards specific people.. Is it because they are like me? Or…

I think there is something to be said about people who understand what it really means to be happy. Happiness is not something you can chase after, it is already there within you, a part of you. Think back to when you were a child or think about children in general…. Most often than not,…
