I Love This Poem!

The Spirit is My Friend
by: Jill Tew

When I feel the Holy Ghost, I feel good inside.
I want to do what Jesus did and always choose the right.
The Spirit helps me know what I should and shouldn't do,
And can help me understand that the Book of Mormon is true.
The Holy Ghost can comfort me when I am feeling sad,
And when I feel the peace He brings, it helps me to feel glad.
I love my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ His Son.
The Holy Ghost can help me to obey and follow Them.

Footprints in the Sand...

I love this poem;

It reminds me of the Lord being there for us all the time;

He would never leave!

One night a man had a dream.

He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.

For each scene he noticed two sets offootprints in the sand:

one belongingto him, and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him,

he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path ofhis life

there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened

at the verylowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and hequestioned the LORD about it:
"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you

, you'd walk with me all the way.

But I have noticed that during the mosttroublesome times in my life,

there is only one set of footprints.

I don't understand why whenI needed you most you would leave me."
The LORD replied:
"My son, my precious child,I love you and I would never leave you

.During your times of trial and suffering,

when you see only one set of footprints,

it was then that I carried you."

The difference...

I got up early one morning

And rushed right into the day;

I had so much to accomplish

That I didn't have time to pray.

Problems just tumbled about me,

And heaver came each task.

"Why doesn't God help me?" I wondered.

He answered, "You didn't ask."

I wanted to see joy and beauty,

But the day toiled on, gray and bleak;

I wondered why God didn't show me.He said,

"But you didn't seek."

I tried to come into God's presence:

I used all my keys at the lock.

God gently and lovingly chided,

"My child, you didn't knock"

I woke up early this morning

And paused before entering the day;

I had so much to accomplish

That I had to take time to pray.

A Poem about KINDNESS

I thought I was going to get better today, but I didn't. Unfortunately, I need to stay home today with my son, while my hubby works today. My son and I were supposed to be going to church today, but we didn't go because I am now suffering from laryngitis cause by coughing and colds. I am here chilling with my son now and trying to visit my friends to say Hi. While I was reading the church magazine (FRIENDS) last night, I came across this very wonderful and sweet poem. I decided to write it on my blog so everyone can read it and feel good!
