Words of Wisdom from Steve

Since Steve does not have a blog, I would like to insert something that he and I discussed the other day as we were worrying over all the challenges that our children are having. Below is what he said:

The gift of the Holy Ghost, the right to have his influence always with us,is one of the greatest blessings given by a loving Father. Sometimes we are distracted by the difficulties and challenges in our lives to the extent that we think focusing most of our attention on the difficulties is our highest priority; yet by increasing the consistency of the gift of the Holy Ghost, his influence,we are blessed in two ways: we are guided in the ways we can meet the challenges, and as we work through them, we are given comfort that all will be well.

But the comforter, whom the Father will send in my name,

he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your

remembrance, whatsoever I have spoken unto you.

John 14:26

It would seem, then, that while we focus attention on our challenges, we should not forget to do those things in our lives that will allow the gift of the Holy Ghost to be more consistent. In fact, if one had to choose, the latter would be the better choice.

And we all know those things to do for the Holy Ghost to attend us, right???
