Daily Thoughts

In the Old Testament I read that the Lord would sift Israel among all nations, and all the sinners would die by the sword. Amos 9: 9-10 "For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth. All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us."

In the D&C I read about how when Adam was old and nearing death he called his posterity together in the valley of Adam-ondi-Ahman and bestowed blessings upon them. I've been to Adam-ondi-Ahman and it's such a peaceful place. There's really not much out there to see, but when you think of the events that have taken place there and events yet to come that will take place there, it's awe inspiring. D&C 107: 53 "Three years previous to the death of Adam, he called Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared, Enoch, and Methuselah, who were all high priests, with the residue of his posterity who were righteous, into the valley of Adam-ondi-Ahman, and there bestowed upon them his last blessing."

A verse with a thought booklet tells us to do all things without murmuring and disputing. Do we complain and grumble about things we don't like in our lives? A negative attitude can not only affect us, but all those around us as well. The Lord loves a cheerful heart and a grateful attitude. Let's look for the positive in our lives and stop all the murmuring. I think we'll find this shift in our attitude will make us much happier people and we'll enjoy life so much more. Philip. 2: 14 "Do all things without murmurings and disputings:"
