I love this quote: It sure reminds me of what I need to be doing daily. I'm grateful for church leaders that guide and direct us.
"Moment by moment, breath by breath, our lives are granted to us and are renewed. So it is with spiritual light. It must be renewed in us on a regular basis. We must generate it day by day, thought by thought, and with daily righteous action."
Elder Robert D. Hales of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles reminds us how we can have spiritual light: “When I was a boy, I used to ride my bicycle home from basketball practice at night. I would connect a small pear-shaped generator to my bicycle tire. Then as I pedaled, the tire would turn a tiny rotor, which produced … a single, welcome beam of light. … I learned quickly that if I stopped pedaling my bicycle, the light would go out. I also learned that when I was ‘anxiously engaged’ in pedaling, the light would become brighter and the darkness in front of me would be [forced away].”
Elder Hales explains that “spiritual light comes from daily spiritual pedaling. It comes from praying, studying the scriptures, fasting, and serving—from living the gospel and obeying the commandments” (“Out of Darkness into His Marvelous Light,” Ensign, May 2002, 71).
When we live the gospel and keep the commandments, we can have the Light of Christ with us always.
TOTALLY time for a BIG BOY BED!!! Hunter and Henry broke the crib like 5 months ago so Henry boy has been in a pack and play. Henry has now learned how to pull up the mat and gets into the bottom of the pack and play. I caught him on camera falling asleep with the mat pulled up. It cracks us up that he figured out how to change things up. Smart little dude.
Henry and mommy got to finger paint for the first time. Henry liked the feeling of the paint on his fingers. I thought for sure he would want to do it for awhile but he was done after the first 5 mins. He is so active that he just doesn't want to sit still.
Hunter and his buddy Christian had fun playing together this week.
