My home is a refuge not only from the world, but from my worries, my troubles, my concerns. I like beautiful things around me. I like to be beautiful because it delights my eyes and my soul is lifted up.

I'm pondering with my heart and mind......

I LOVED CONFERENCE....
Every single word, every song, and all the emotions and feelings that came with them...I believe that I can honestly say this was my most fav. conference..Perhaps because I desperately wanted to hear from the brethren. Perhaps because, I can't remember a more troubling time, in my life..After listening to the wonderful talks, it sounds like we are headed for more of the same..

Here's my golden nuggets that will stay with me until I can read all the talks again.

I don't know everything, but I know "enough'"..

In the winters of our life, there is a summer within us.

never give up, never give in

Come what may--and love it

God will fight our battles for us

Follow the Savior--any other way is madness

Sell your summer cottage in babylon

Birds don't always sing, Bells don't always ring

Both seen and unseen Angels surround us

Pray for others to get help with your own problems

We are poisoned by degrees (degrees of worldliness)

We need to be guardians of virtue

The will to win is nothing without the will to prepare

Gratitude is the noblest virtue

find joy in the journey

When you reject the gift you reject the giver

rain falls on the just and the unjust

Life is hard, the gospel is simple

pray, pray, pray

Trust in Heavenly Father and Jesus

Trust in Heavenly Father and Jesus, was definitely my favorite! I think at times life can be challenging I try to be so strong through it all but it's always our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ that help me through the trials. I love this post thanks for sharing this!
