Sometimes the Best time is Now...

I have had a little Dove Chocolate wrapper in my car for about 2 years, that says "sometimes the best time is now."  Today as I was driving it got me thinking about life and how so many of us are always waiting... We are all waiting for the storm to pass, waiting for the right time, waiting to be happy when we graduate, make millions, get married, have babies, be retired... So many of us spend our lives waiting to be happy, when it is now that we must act. If you want to start your own business, do it!! If you love someone you tell them, you don't waste any of those moments. Those moments that could be gone in an instant. Those moments that just might change your life. If you want to change your life, do it! Because a year from now you will wish you did something today! 

Life can be scary, it is scary... But it is the most amazing ride we will ever have. Our Heavenly Father has given us life, a life that we should not waste. Sometimes in the mist of getting things done, and trying to take day by day; life happens. 

If it scares you, do it! If you want it with all your heart, go after it. You will be guided in all that you do, if you do it with a sincere heart... 

3rd Nephi 27:29

"Therefore, ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; for he that asketh, receiveth; and unto him that knocketh, it shall be opened."

I'm not saying if you ask you will win the lottery. But by praying to our Father in heaven for guidance and answers, you will receive them in The Lords own time and own way. Answers aren't always what we want them to be, but when the Lords will is lined up with ours there is no greater feeling of happiness. Now those times when the answer we hoped for is the answer that is right; those are the sweet and special moments that touch our hearts and strengthen our testimonies.

This life is a beautiful one, now go out there and live it, I mean Really live and love. 

A Sunday Thought

"True love requires action. We can speak of love all day long—we can write notes or poems that proclaim it, sing songs that praise it, and preach sermons that encourage it—but until we manifest that love in action, our words are nothing but “sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.”

Christ did not just speak about love; He showed it each day of His life. He did not remove Himself from the crowd. Being amidst the people, Jesus reached out to the one. He rescued the lost. He didn’t just teach a class about reaching out in love and then delegate the actual work to others. He not only taught but also showed us how to “succor the weak, lift up the hands which hang down, and strengthen the feeble knees.” 

Love is what inspired our Heavenly Father to create our spirits; it is what led our Savior to the Garden of Gethsemane to make Himself a ransom for our sins. Love is the grand motive of the plan of salvation; it is the source of happiness, the ever-renewing spring of healing, the precious fountain of hope.

As we extend our hands and hearts toward others in Christlike love, something wonderful happens to us. Our own spirits become healed, more refined, and stronger. We become happier, more peaceful, and more receptive to the whisperings of the Holy Spirit."

Love for others, Love for something, or Love for someone; Love is what drives us to become better than we are, it's what helps us become who we are meant to become.
