Saturday was clear and beautiful. Made more beautiful still by the time we were able to spend at the new temple in Ft. Lauderdale, FL with wonderful friends. I felt peace and love.

| Never mind the temple we can do that any time. Let's blow into the water because fountains are AWESOME! |
I read something the other day that I really loved. It's from Clayton M. Christensen's Book, The Power of Everyday Missionaries. "God's role is a constant, not a variable. He always keeps His promises. The only variable is whether we have the faith that we will be blessed with miracles if we make commitments to God and then obediently do what we said we would do" (p. 79). He was referring to missionary work in his book, but these statements apply to our lives in all aspects. He always keeps His promises.
We have been promised blessings if we obey (https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2013/04/obedience-brings-blessings?lang=eng). We have been promised salvation if we live righteously (Matt. 7:21). We have been promised strength if we are humble (Ether 12:27).
“And, if you keep my commandments and endure to the end you shall have eternal life, which gift is the greatest of all the gifts of God” (D&C 14:7).
We need to have faith and trust in our Father in Heaven. "Be still, and know that I am God" (Psalms 46:10).
I know that Heavenly Fathers wants us to be happy. He knows us and loves us. He has given us scripture and prophets to guide us through this time so that we can find the path to eternal happiness.
