In The Light of the Lord

2 Nephi 4:15  "And upon these I write the things of my soul, and many of the scriptures which are engraven upon the plates of brass.  For my soul delighteth in the scriptures, and my heart pondereth them, and writeth them for the learning and the profit of my children."
Mom and I know it is sometimes difficult to read scriptures every day.  It is something you have to make time for.  Now that it is just the two of us, we are finding it a little easier to read and ponder the scriptures.  We always knew it was important, but now that we are doing it consistently and for longer periods of time, we have grown to have even a greater testimony of scripture reading.
As you read the scriptures, the Light of the Lord enters into your heart and your mind.  You feel you can do all things and face your fears.  In the Light of the Lord your heart is filled with faith and love; your Spirit seems to soar.  The Light of the Lord shines from your eyes as you worthily bear his name.

Here is an idea to movtivate scripture reading.  Get yourself a candle and put it in a nice holder.  When the family is gathered to read scriptures, light the candle.  Let it burn as you read.  Blow it out when you finish reading for the day.  Everyday light it again.  Eventually the candle will burn down to nothing signaling the famiy has done real good at reading there scriptures and are entitled to a night out for ice cream or other treat.  It puts a little more spark into your scripture reading time.
Here is a little song I wrote and Mom helps me sing.  Enjoy!  IN THE LIGHT OF THE LORD

Flecks of Gold

We should always remember, the things that matter most are usually earned a little at a time.  The lesson learned by a young prospector searching for large nuggets of gold from an old timer can be applied in so many different ways in your life.
