Finding Peace on the Sabbath

It is important to realize that the Sabbath Day is a day of rest. Many people try to cram so much into a Sunday, that they are left exhausted at the end of it. As a mother to three young children, there is rarely a Sunday that I do not come home exhausted from church. At times I wonder if all of my hard work is worth it, but I know that it is. Since church attendance is anything but peaceful right now, I find that I need to do more at home on Sunday to help me find that … Continue reading →

When You Miss Church

I look forward to Sunday each week. I enjoy going to church to take the Sacrament. It is my chance to spiritually renew myself each week. After a long stressful week it is nice to be surrounded by friends who understand my beliefs and support me during my trials. But sometimes I can’t make it to church on Sunday. Generally this is because we have little ones who are ill or I am ill, since we try to attend church even when we are out of town. On those weeks I have to work extra hard so that I don’t … Continue reading →

Don’t Dread Sundays!

Do you ever find yourself dreading your Sunday? Are you so stressed out and tired from attending church that the rest of the day seems shot?

The Ten Commandments: The Fourth Commandment

In the Book of Exodus, chapter twenty and verses eight through eleven, we read: 8. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10.

For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the … Continue reading →

LDS Week in Review – April 7th-12th

Life just keeps getting busier! If you weren’t able to join us here throughout the week, we have a way for you to catch up. Here is the week in review. We began the week with a review of “The Crayon Messages,” a cute LDS novel about a woman who learns the true meaning of service by carrying out her visiting teaching assignment. We then continued the Scripture Study series with 1 Nephi 15:20-25. The sixth lesson in our Joseph Smith manual teaches us about “The Mission of John the Baptist,” who was sent to prepare the way of Jesus … Continue reading →

Tip of the Day- Have a Do Nothing Day

Maybe it was all the stairs yesterday, but today I’m feeling a little worn and tired. I’m finding it hard to get through the normal routine of my day. I’m sluggish and mentally drained, so today I’m scheduling a “Do Nothing Day”. It may not be today, but it needs to happen soon. It’s going on my calendar. I’m practicing my response: “No. I’m sorry, I’m busy that day.” I don’t have to tell them I’m busy doing nothing, but that’s exactly what I plan to do. Stress is a killer, and I mean that literally. Every once in a … Continue reading →
