Well, I came up with some gumption to talk to John about our spiritual lives.  It had seemed that things that were most important were falling by the wayside.  Well, we made some spiritual goals.  Together we want to pray day and night, read our scriptures once a day, have family home evening on Monday nights, and get to the temple.  I made some personal goals.  I want to read my scriptures near the first thing in the morning and say my prayers morning and night.  These goals are so important.  Because they bring other inspirations into our lives.

Last night we had our family home evening and I was inspired by President Hinckley’s First Presidency Message in the last Ensign.  He spoke of Christ and His life.  The quote that really hit me the most was,

“In sunshine and in shadow we look to Him, and He is there to assure and smile upon us.”

What a great truth.  I have been struggling to find my path lately and this truth brought me back to what is most important, Jesus Christ.  And I am grateful for this knowledge.

“…regardless of what the future holds, there stands the Redeemer of the world, the Son of God, certain and sure as the anchor of our immortal lives.  He is the rock of our salvation, our strength, our comfort, the very focus of our faith.”
