Come and See: February 2014

Come Unto Christ

My dear family and friends, I cannot express how I feel. I know that our Savior, Jesus Christ, Loves you all so very much. You are all great in His sight. It does not matter what what trials you have already faced, or what you might be facing right now, our Savior is there for you. He is waiting to lift you up, bring you comfort, heal your broken heart, wipe away every falling tear, and wrap his arms around you. When ever you may need Him, He's the one you're looking for. So let Him in, and He will take away your pain. When you feel His love you'll never be the same. Come unto Christ. Come unto Him, and by His grace be made holy again. He's calling your name. He's waiting for you with arms open wide. Come unto Christ.

"The words “come unto Christ” are an invitation. It is the most important invitation you could ever offer to another person. It is the most important invitation anyone could accept." -By President Henry B. Eyring

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." -Matthew 11:28-30

Start With Faith: Experiment Upon His Words

"But behold, if ye will awake and arouse your faculties, even to an experiment upon my words, and exercise a particle of faith, yea, even if ye can no more than desire to believe, let this desire work in you, even until ye believe in a manner that ye can give place for a portion of my words." -Alma 32:27

Test the waters! Try God, and see what he will bless you with. As you take the time to get to know Him and His word, He will take the time to get to know you and bless you with what you need. You will be able to gain a testimony that His gospel is here on the earth: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Families Are Eternal

“Love … comforts, counsels, cures, and consoles.” Joseph B. Wirthlin

"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love...because he first loved us" 1 John 4:18-19

We build deep and loving family relationships by doing simple things together, like family dinner and family home evening and by just having fun together. In family relationships love is really spelled t-i-m-e, time. Taking time for each other is the key for harmony at home. We talk with, rather than about, each other. We learn from each other, and we appreciate our differences as well as our commonalities. We establish a divine bond with each other as we approach God together through family prayer, gospel study, and Sunday worship.” Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Someone Needs Your Help

“My brothers and sisters, we are surrounded by those in need of our attention, our encouragement, our support, our comfort, our kindness—be they family members, friends, acquaintances, or strangers. We are the Lord’s hands here upon the earth, with the mandate to serve and to lift His children. He is dependent upon each of us....That service to which all of us have been called is the service of the Lord Jesus Christ.” -Thomas S. Monson
