1 Nephi 5

1 Nephi 5: 20 "And it came to pass that thus far I and my father had kept the commandments wherewith the Lord had commanded us."

I was scanning through the scriptures to see what would be good for today's thought when this one popped out at me. This is kind of a "I followed what my father taught me and did the right thing."

It reminded me of Joshua and "As for me and my house, we will follow the Lord."

I would wish for our children to follow this thought. I would hope that they would keep the commandments as their father and I try to. I would hope that they would have a desire to do this so that we can be an eternal family.

I hope that we can teach them to want this...every day of their lives.

Scripture thought for the day...

I forgot what my plan was yesterday, and so I didn't post my scripture!!! sigh. I also had a headache most of the afternoon, and by the time it wore off, I wasn't thinking about blogging...grin.

So, here's my scripture thought for the week. It comes from 1 Nephi 3:7
"And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them."

I love this scripture, and the primary song that goes with it. I try so hard to do the things which we have been commanded to do. I don't make it all the time, and sometimes I fall flat on my face -- sigh. But I wish to!

We are so loved, and have been given so much! Doesn't it astound you sometimes? We live in such a blessed time, despite what is happening in our country. I am thankful to be here, thankful for all my many blessings and will continue to strive to follow the commandments of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Have a wonderful day.
