550.Beautiful thoughts from Latter Day Light. I love the daily scripture and quote from a prophet!

I really enjoy the beautiful thoughts each day on Latter Day Light, and the Daily Devotions.  The first one is reminding us how much our ancestors are looking forward to us to remember them, and do their Temple work.  The second is thoughts of gratitude, and thanksgiving, and the last is just plain wisdom.  One of the quotes below is from our beloved President Spencer W. Kimball.   As the Christmas season is now here, I hope we will be able to keep our thoughts on what is really important!  There are many "things" we could do without, and there are so many places that we could help others at this time.  If we just look around, we can find someone to help who lives close to us, or even a close relative that could use some help, but doesn't want to ask for it.  Have a wonderfully happy day today, and this whole season. We don't know just what will happen with Wayne, my husband, whom I've mentioned on this blog before.  His esophageal cancer isn't totally gone, but cancer cells are still there.  We have decided to not do chemo.  He comes home each Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons at 4:00 p.m., totally weak and exhausted from dialysis.  Right now he has quite a bad cough, and doesn't have much of an appetite.  He is losing weight at around 2 to 3 pounds each month.  I will write an update now and then on this blog.  He spends many hours each day indexing!  It relaxes him!  Latter Day Light DAILY DEVOTIONS December 1, 2015 Meeting Our Progenitors

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Doctrine & Covenants 128:15 "And now, my dearly beloved brethren and sisters, let me assure you that these are principles in relation to the dead and the living that cannot be lightly passed over, as pertaining to our salvation. For their salvation is necessary and essential to our salvation, as Paul says concerning the fathers---that they without us cannot be made perfect-neither can we without our dead be made perfect."

QUOTE OF THE DAY Wilford Woodruff "How would I feel, after living as long as I have, with the privileges I have had of going into these temples, to go into the spirit world without having done this work? I meet my father's house, I meet my mother's house, I meet my progenitors, and they are shut up in prison; I held the keys of their salvation, and yet did nothing for them; what would be my feelings, or what would be their feelings toward me?" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Wilford Woodruff, p. 192).

Latter Day Light DAILY DEVOTIONS November 23, 2015 Pray in Thanksgiving

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Psalm 92:1-2 "It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: to shew forth thy loving kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night."

QUOTE OF THE DAY Spencer W. Kimball "In many countries, the homes are barren and the cupboards bare-no books, no radios, no pictures, no furniture, no fire-while we are housed adequately, clothed warmly, fed extravagantly. Did we show our thanks by the proper devotion on our knees last night and this morning and tomorrow morning? "Ingratitude, thou sinful habit! "Around the world are millions groping in the dark, fettered through superstition and fear and insecurity. Here we live in the light with joy and love and abundance and hope. . . . Do we appreciate that and do we express our gratitude in solemn thanksgiving?" (The Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball, p. 120). Latter Day Light DAILY DEVOTIONS December 3, 2015 Line Upon Line SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY 2 Nephi 28:30 "For behold, thus saith the Lord God: I will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little; and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts, and lend an ear unto my counsel, for they shall learn wisdom; for unto him that receiveth I will give more; and from them that shall say, We have enough, from them shall be taken away even that which they have." QUOTE OF THE DAY Joseph F. Smith "This is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and it is true doctrine. The man who will obey it, who will enter into the spirit of it, and cherish the spirit of it in his heart; who has this desire in his soul and seeks for that desire to become paramount to all other desires, will go on from faith to faith, from hope to knowledge, from understanding to wisdom and power, and finally to exaltation and glory in the kingdom of our God; and there is no power beneath the celestial kingdom that can stay him in his progress, if he will but strive to keep the laws and commandments of God" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph F. Smith, p. 428).
