Ep 49 -- "The gospel of Jesus Christ is more easily taught and longer remembered in a happy home." (H. Burke Peterson, Oct 1972)

Ep 48 -- we can always repent and start over. (Yay for insulin.) Alma the younger, in the Book of Mormon, is such a good example of repentance.

Ep 47-- Pray to have eyes to see God's hand in your life. Look for the many blessings that surround you. Sometimes blessings and answers to prayers come through other people.

Ep 46 -- "We should find great comfort in the fact that ordinary people who faithfully, diligently, and consistently do simple things that are right before God will be blessed in extraordinary ways." -Elder David A Bednar, 9-16-20

Ep 45-- 3 Nephi 17:3 "Therefore, go ye unto your homes, and ponder upon the things which I have said, and ask of the Father, in my name, that ye may understand, and prepare your minds for the morrow, and I come unto you again."

Ep 44 -- 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 ... "Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;

Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God."

Ep 43--I finished another GOAL I've been working on for a few months: Playing through the entire hymnbook (341 hymns inside) and reading each hymn's history along the way. 🎹📖

My piano teacher is probably smiling down from heaven. 😇 That's something she encouraged me to do as teenager--to be able to play every hymn in the book so I was always prepared to accompany when asked. I think I could play them all then, but now I've officially proved to myself I can now. 😁

I LOVE music and the power it brings into our lives❣️

🎵"Hymns can lift our spirits, give us courage, and move us to righteous action. They can fill our souls with heavenly thoughts and bring us a spirit of peace. Hymns can also help us withstand the temptations of the adversary." (The First Presidency, 1985)

Ep 42-- The alarm I'm referring to is not a clock alarm, but my insulin pump. Luckily tonight is another opportunity to get better sleep. Heavenly father has given us this mortal experience so we can try again and again because practice makes permanent.

Ep 41-- "The principle of eternal marriage is a most powerful stabilizing influence in promoting the kind of home needed to rear children who are happy and well adjusted." -Howard W Hunter

Ep 40--this thought goes with a favorite scripture I've shared before from the Book of Mormon, Helaman 5:12
