Missionaries Are Angels - 10/26/11


Missionaries are angels sent from above
To help spread His words of peace, truth, and love.
Although they may not have wings
They're so happy, its like they're walking on springs
Special young men and young women 
Chosen with care
Spreading His gospel
Traveling in pair
With the Book in hand
The Spirit at heart
To find investigators
They are ready to start
Getting up early
In bed before 10
They tirelessly work each day
Then the next begin again
They bless the lives of everyone they meet
Every John, Jane, and Mary
Even the random person down the street
The blessings extend to their families 
Who anxiously await
Every letter and phone call
Til their sons and daughters come back to their gate
They travel around the world
Bringing hope and knowledge to many
To disbelievers and those who question 
They have scriptures at the ready
They study alot of the gospel so it's ready to spread
Many copies of the Book of Mormon waiting to be read
They change lives
Showing a path of truth and light
How to follow the gospel and our Heavenly Father
How to do our best to choose the right
They don't always know how special they are
I'm hoping with this 
It makes a good start
To any missionary that may read this
Please always know
You are amazing young people
That help testimonies grow
You are all of the above and then some
To the lives that you touch
You really are angels
We love each of you so much

All The Little Things - 10/24/11

Remember all the little things when you bow your head to pray.


All the little things that you are blessed with each day. 


Thankful for all the little things that have gone your way.


Its often in the little things that He shows His grace.


For its the little things that our minds have the space.

Don't wait for big things to see His hand in your day.


Don't only say thanks for big things that may come your way.


Don't wait for big things to increase your faith.


You can add all the little things, for they all together are big in a single day.

Its in all the little things that the Spirit likes to play.


Its humbling to see all the little things He does for us each day.


Remember all the little things, they help increase your faith.


Tonight when you kneel and pray, give thanks for all the little things that have happened today.


You'll then start to see Him in your life in each and every way.

Live For Today - 7/18/11


I don’t want to be
I wish I had
I wish I would
I wish I did
I wish I could

Don’t forget the ones
You care about
Don’t forget the ones
You love

‘Cause
One day
When its too late
Don’t want to have
Any regrets
We never know
When He’s going to
Take us back
Never forget to say I love you
Live for today
Live for today

There’s no excuse
For making excuses
There’s no such thing
As no time for family

We’ve got to appreciate
Those we’ve got
While we’ve got them
While we’re here

‘Cause
One day
When its too late
Don’t want to have
Any regrets
We never know
When He’s going to
Take us back
Never forget to say I love you
Live for today
Live for today

Too many people
Waste their lives
They don’t make time
For those that matter

They’re too concerned
In tomorrow, tomorrow
What happened yesterday

Yesterday doesn’t matter
Its already gone
Tomorrow doesn’t matter
Its not here yet
Today matters
Its here, its now

One day
When its too late
Don’t want to have
Any regrets
We never know
When He’s going to
Take us back
Never forget to say I love you
Live for today
Live for today

Thank our Father for our lives
Thank our Savior for our lives
Thank them for
Everything we have

Don’t take life for granted
We’re here on borrowed time
We don’t know
When it’ll be time
For us to go home

One day
When its too late
Don’t have
Any regrets
We never know
When He’s going to
Take us back
Never forget to say I love you
Live for today
Live for today


untitled 6/27/11

By being a bit of a sleuth
I have learned the truth
Despite what some may say
I know this is the right way
I know that I can trust
In whatever plan he has for us
I know with certainty
That he loves me
The warmth that I feel I know that its real
The comfort I get I know I won't forget
The miracles I see I know are meant to be
I hope my family can see
All the good this has done for me
How happiness has bloomed
Where darkness used to room
All the joy and light
This has brought into my life
With faith in Him
I don't go off in every whim
With faith in place
I don't feel an empty space
With faith in His Son
I feel my life has just begun
