YW Manual 1 Lesson 23

The theme of the most recent General Conference seemed to be forgiveness.  The message from our Heavenly Father is simple forgive as I have forgiven you.  For some of us, our mortal experience may require us to forgive many times and as long as we continue to forgive we are following His counsel.  When we allow grudges to linger and fail to extend forgiveness to those who have trespassed against us we have allowed Satan to win. 

After all, none of us will experience what our Savior did from his friends, he was sold for several pieces of silver, his closest Apostle denied knowledge of Jesus, and still He forgave both of them.  I know I need my Savior's forgiveness every single day, and on that note I should forgive those who have trespassed against me.  Let us always follow his example.

YW Manual 1 Lesson 22

Repentance is important to our eternal progression.  I know each day I wake up and no matter how hard I try, I commit some sort of sin before I return to bed.  Repentance is my key to living a good life, and my journey to return to my Heavenly Father.

YW manual 1 Lesson 21

We never know who is watching or when our actions, our speech, our dress or our temperament will be an example for good or not so good.  Have you ever examined your actions of the previous week and realized that you could have been a better example for righteousness.  This quote is from the lesson manual and was shared by Ardeth Kapp.  She is so correct our world is darkening and sometimes it takes a lot of courage to do what is right especially when we are stressed.  I know I need to learn to control my temperament to be a better example.

 Each week I am so grateful for the opportunity to partake of the sacrament and renew my covenants with my Heavenly Father so I can have a clean slate and a chance to better next week. 

 Blessings, 

Kimberly

YW Manual 1 Lesson 20



YW Manual 1 Lesson 19

I love hearing stories about my ancestors, stories that would have been lost if someone had not kept records.  One of my ancestors paid for several saints to come to the new world from South Africa.  From some of the records we learn that on their first attempt to come to America, the boat started taking on water and the boat had to return for repairs.  When they finally made it to Utah this ancestor was asked to help settle the Bear Lake area, he was then known as the town doctor of the area.  I have always wondered what it is about Bear Lake that I love so much, more than the beauty of the area, perhaps it is the links to my forefathers and mothers. 

By keeping records, our great, great, great grandchildren will have the opportunity to learn about us, our thoughts, our motives and our dreams. 

Here is to some happy record keeping.

I have had a few requests for this without this saying.  If you want to add your own saying, here is a blank option as well. 

Enjoy,

YW Manual 1 Lesson 17

I feel so blessed to belong to a church that has the covenants and saving ordinances of the Lord's religion on this earth. Our challenge is to teach our Heavenly Father's daughters to understand the importance of upholding our end of the covenant, and continuing to live worthily of the ordinances of the priesthood of God.
