TKnows that the Lord loves them.

Mothers do what they can to help their families.

It would be an incredible idea to talk about how something affected us to the point that everyone is dying to know what it is andvthen after it has been fully established explain that the book is the book of Mormon.

Trust God, He has a plan. He will speak peace to your heart.

When asked if you are a member of the church do you answer in the affirmative out of rote? Or are you really a member of the church?

Ask yourself why do you attend church? A guy mention that he thought it was not the people cause he did not like people in general. But, when he comes to church he sees little acts of kindness that restore his faith in humanity.

Sometimes denotes an agreement between persons (1 Sam. 23:18) or nations (1 Sam. 11:1); more often between God and man; but in this latter case it is important to notice that the two parties to the agreement do not stand in the relation of independent and equal contractors. God in His good pleasure fixes the terms, which man accepts. The same word is sometimes rendered “testament.”
The gospel is so arranged that principles and ordinances are received by covenant, placing the recipient under strong obligation and responsibility to honor the commitment. Thus the severe consequences to Ananias and Sapphira, who deliberately broke their covenant and lied unto God (Acts 5:1–11).

A man might  break his promise, but God is Bound.

When covenant is said first thing that comes to mind.

Traditions are reason for bloodshed in the name of righteousness.

Gotcha day, when one is adopted is often as significant as those who are born into a tribe, we remember as is said in sacrament prayer.

Abraham was to be a father in Gen. 17 of many and that his seed will gain grandest blessings. It occurred to me as I was thinking about how interesting it is that his name was already Abrahm, but that caused me to consider Sarah's name. Which gives insight into the name of Sarah and what a blessining that name is. It was given by God and it means princess.

"If you listen to that still small voice you will never be lost." Was read from an ancestor's pat. bless.

And if your brethren desire to escape their enemies, let them repent of all their sins, and become truly humble before me and contrite. D&C 45 if they want a thing it is promised you will escape if... just be still and trust God.

Abrahamic convenant lasts forever because children are numberless meaning with out end. It is key to Eternal life.

Remember we are constantly reminded of the things that are significant. Trying to be better is easier if you follow christ like you promised.

Why do we have sacrament in 7 day increments?

We might take it for granted if we did it more asoften. We get to have daily prayer to be reminded of things that we ought to be focused on.

7pm book exchange (wrapped) and 12 cookies.

When making a decision pray and make sure what the right thing to choose is, and then act upon it, and things will likely cause you to struggle and doubt but just recall the way you felt inititially about it.

It is good to share faith....like a plate of cookies.

Gordon B Hinckley manual speaks about how it is our faith that becomes our strength to move forward, he said almost that exact thing when he exlained in a short movie about him being a giant among men that among his great doubts, he clung to the gospel because of the trstimony he recieved when listening to praise to the man at a stake conference.

We need to use faith of others to rely on.

We need to have faith to just let go and let God....in short we need to have confidence and hope in God.

Instead of asking what if to even if, what are you going to do?

Keep on keeping on. Heaven is cheering you on.

Do those who can know about you love to watch your story?

I need to add one additional thought regarding faith being an active power that was not mentioned.

Too often I do my part and then just sot around hoping, it reminds me of the kids morning video where Laman and Lemuel return to get tge plates and fail again and stat beating their brother so an angel tells them to return to Jerusalem and Laban will be delivered, and at the city gate  the refuse to re enter citing that the angel told them to return to Jerusalem and so they did, now they would wait for Laban to be delivered... ha ha.

Prayer is a literal action though it is not seen as the act of faith, it is an action that demonstrates faith. Likewise, I think it looks inactive, but to merely believe a thing is an active step towards a goal.

I hope to go to Mississippi to dpend the summer with my children, and have prayed and fasted and now, I am just sitting around and hoping, but more likely I ought to be discovering what the active part is and do it, not just in the name of faith, but actually faith itself... we'll see.
