Our pastor used to say, “Look for the blessing in each day.” He liked to remind the congregation that God’s goodness is all around, and that God intends us to live joyful, peaceful lives, which is possible when we trust in him.

Some of the most reassuring words in all of Scripture are found in the beloved wisdom attributed to King Solomon: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5-6).

It seems that this wisdom is clearly understood by many farmers, whether or not they can quote the Bible passage.

We have enjoyed many a conversation with farmers who seem to be eternally optimistic. They know from experience that you don’t have to look too far on the farm to find a blessing or evidence of God’s favor.

If you don’t find it over here, well, it may be apparent over there. For us, the deep truth of this wisdom is not lost, but sometimes it is covered by weeds.

When our children were very young, we moved out to the “country,” which meant a small parcel just south of the Salt Lake City. It was April, and we were all excited to explore the space of our lush backyard.

Here we are 20 years later and I am so proud that my children work hard to reap God‘s harvest, see the good that He provides even during a pandemic and drought. #ItTakesWork #HaveFaith 🌾🧙‍♀️🚜

Join us live this Sunday evening.

In the words of King Benjamin, “Whosoever doeth this shall be found at the right hand of God, for he shall know the name by which he is called; for he shall be called by the name of Christ.” (Mosiah 5:9.)

According to this meaning, when we witness our willingness to take upon us the name of Jesus Christ, we are signifying our commitment to do all that we can to achieve eternal life in the kingdom of our Father. We are expressing our candidacy—our determination to strive for—exaltation in the celestial kingdom. —-Dallin H. Oaks

Consider the water glass that is half full or half

Consider the water glass that is half full or half empty, based on your perception. What do you see? Look carefully; not with your eyes, but with your understanding. Is it half empty or is it half full?

Remove your glasses, polish the lenses of your perception, and look again. The glass is completely full. In fact, it’s overflowing. It’s only half full of water, but it is filled the rest of the way with air— the most precious life-sustaining element on the planet. Without it, you would die in minutes. Air is free. And so is sunshine, the most powerful source of energy in our vast solar system that fills our days with radiance. What do you need for your happiness and success as an individual? Which of those are free? Ideas? Free. Inspiration? Free. Energy? Free. Determination? Free. The really good stuff is free stuff! How about opportunity? It’s also free and, like air and sunshine, we are immersed in the glorious abundance of it.

You may argue that you have to work for some of these. That is true. It’s like digging for water in the desert. But they are already within you. Like a handful of perfect deep purple wild blackberries, a cup of fresh water from a clear mountain stream, or an idea buried deep within your mind, they are free for the taking.

Some argue that if it’s free, you get what you pay for. No, the saying is if it’s cheap, you get what you pay for. Don’t confuse cheap with free. Love is free. Friendship is free. Life–the greatest of all gifts–is free. Be receptive to these free gifts and respect and preserve them, like keeping our source of water and air unpolluted and treating friends and loved ones with love and respect. What is most important to you? The love of your spouse? Free. A hug from a grandchild? Free. A crayon-scrawled picture of a bright yellow sun from your little girl, drawn just for you when you are grumpy? Free.

Your dog’s happy greeting? Always free. How about a friend’s hand on your shoulder while you weep? The applause of your friends when you win? All priceless, yet free.The camaraderie of your classmates or co-workers? The warm reception of a great crowd? How about the kindness of strangers? All are free.

Have you ever felt so drained emotionally that you

Have you ever felt so drained emotionally that you couldn’t keep going? It happens to the best of us. Being emotionally paralyzed means that we’ve been through so much turmoil that our minds and spirits have had a hard time processing it all, so we begin to shut down mentally.

How can we move forward when we can’t feel any longer? First we must give up the “all or nothing” mentality. Even the most positive, self-confident people in the world have spells of insecurity, but it can become debilitating if you actually believe these thoughts.

Rather than thinking in absolute terms and conjuring up the worst case scenario, start thinking more realistically. Self-defeating thoughts can really prevent you from living up to your full potential.

Next, stop comparing yourself to others. This can make you doubt yourself and feel inferior. It can also make you feel worthless if you expect your life to look like someone else’s, and will only pave the road to disappointment.

Your path will look differently than your neighbor’s, but this doesn’t mean you have chosen the wrong route. Focus on how you can become a better person, and everything will start to fall into place.
