The Way

My thoughts on Elder Corbridge's talk "The Way"

How come my teens don't get this? "There is only one way to happiness and fulfillment"
"He offers a well of living water. Either we drink and never thirst more, or we don't and foolishly remain thirsty still."
"He is the Bread of Life. Either we eat and hunger no more, or we don't and foolishly remain weak and hungry still."
"Either we learn of Him and have life more abundantly, or we don't and foolishly remain dead still."

But then a teens eyes don't see beyond themselves and what happens to them. They only see five to ten minutes ahead of now. They just don't see it.
They see those that break the commandments, standards and Word of Wisdom rake in millions, having a good time, responsible for nothing and they see us who are the opposite of that, have callings, have responsibilities and struggle to make ends meet.

It is very frustrating!

"Every good thing depends on getting and keeping the power of the Holy Ghost in our lives."

My ultimate goal is to keep the Holy Ghost each day in my life and hopefully it will seep out into my home and my children.

"The Lord's way is not hard. Life is hard, not the gospel."I think I'm going to make that into a poster and put that into each child's room!
"Life is hard for all of us, but life is also simple. We have only two choices. We can either follow the Lord and be endowed with His power and have peace, light strength, knowledge, confidence, love and joy, or we can go some other way, whatever other way, and go it alone--without His support, without His power, without guidance, in darkness, turmoil, doubt, grief and despair. And I ask, which way is easier?"
YEP that is a poster!

I want my life to be as easy as possible but life is hard and I only complicated it when I don’t invite the Spirit into my life.
