Something I've been working hard at this year...I'm glad I have changed in this area :)
"Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing; and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God;"
Doctrine and Covenants 88:119
It's a daily challenge and one I'm sure will be lifelong. But I can see myself so aware of this scripture and doing it. I am more prepared now, I am constantly wanting to learn as well as our kids and hubbs, We always say family prayer, faith has never left me, our home is always in order, we keep GOD and the base of everything we do. It's a hard scripture to live by, but once you get certain parts down, things seem to go with ease. I adore this scrupture, it may just be my FAVE! :)

Sunday Quote
Within the Clasp of a Father's Arms
"I believe this wise counsel from President Joseph F. Smith:
"'Brethren, . . . If you will keep your [children] close to your heart, within the clasp of your arms; if you will make them . . . feel that you love them . . . and keep them near to you, they will not go very far from you, and they will not commit any very great sin. But it is when you turn them out of the home, turn them out of your affection . . . that [is what] drives them from you. . . .
" 'Fathers, if you wish your children to be taught in the principles of the gospel, if you wish them to love the truth and understand it, if you wish them to be obedient to and united with you, love them! and prove . . . that you do love them by your every word and act to[ward] them.' (Gospel Doctrine, 5th ed., Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1966, pp. 282, 316.)"

Sunday Quotes
"President Kimball also taught the profound principle that procrastination leads to the loss of exaltation. He said: 'One of the most serious human defects in all ages is procrastination, an unwillingness to accept personal responsibilities now. . . . Many have allowed themselves to be diverted and have become . . . addicts to mental and spiritual indolence and to the pursuit of worldly pleasure'
I can see in this world we live in, how easy it is to think worldly and to live worldly. I love my Sunday reminders because it's not geared towards anyone in particular, just words that stick out to ME on any given Sunday. Hope u enjoy your sabbath and try to live life with humility :)
