I made a New Year resolution to bring the light of the gospel into my home by:
1. Greeting the day with a song
2. Recording my "Tender Mercies" from the Lord
3. Serving others gladly
Today, January 11th, I decided to blog each day of this month and at least post the name of the song I sang before getting out of bed. Hopefully I will also post my thoughts and feelings, tend mercies or service experiences.
Here are the songs for this week prior to today and my song for today.
Jan 7 "I Thank Thee Dear Father"
Jan 8 "Tell Me Dear Lord"
Jan 9 "O, Say What Is Truth"
Jan 10 "The Light Divine"
Today: Jan 11

While walking on my treadmill yesterday and listening to David Bednar's 2005 Conference message I got the impression I needed to teach my new CTR Primary class the 10 commandments and have them memorize them. This will go along with lesson #2 "Choosing the right will bring happiness."
Moses 1:39 tells us God's work:
"For behold, this is my work and my glory—
to bring to pass
the immortality and eternal life of man."
D&C 11:20 tells us our work:
Behold, this is your work,
to keep my commandments, yea,
with all your might, mind and strength.
Today I found a message from L.Tom Perry: "Obedience to the Ten Commandments" The message is a video found here: It emphasizes the message that:
"As children of God,
we have been given the wonderful gift
of choice. The truest happiness and peace
we can have comes by choosing to obey His laws."
I have found I am the happiest and most peaceful when I keep the commandments. I know my primary children will find the same. If I teach them with love and the spirit.
