Blakely Olivia Stanford - October 22, 2014
I am SO grateful to have a new addition to my eternal family! I know that my niece Blakely came from Heaven and that if we work together and we live faithful to the gospel of Jesus Christ, my family and I will return to live there again!

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! - October 15, 2014
I had always thought that after Christ payed for my sins, there was an arrangement made between him and I, and it was my job to pay off the debt or at least pay part of my way back to Heaven. Brad Wilcox explains how our arrangement really is after Christ payed for our sins:
"Christ’s arrangement with us is similar to a mom providing music lessons for her child. Mom pays the piano teacher. How many know what I am talking about? Because Mom pays the debt in full, she can turn to her child and ask for something. What is it? Practice! Does the child’s practice pay the piano teacher? No. Does the child’s practice repay Mom for paying the piano teacher? No. Practicing is how the child shows appreciation for Mom’s incredible gift. It is how he takes advantage of the amazing opportunity Mom is giving him to live his life at a higher level. Mom’s joy is found not in getting repaid but in seeing her gift used—seeing her child improve. And so she continues to call for practice, practice, practice." His Grace is Sufficient - Ensign September 2013
Christ has taught us the commandments, and keeping them and living by them is how we thank him for what he did for us. And so this Thanksgiving season (whether you be celebrating it now or later) we can all show our gratitude by choosing to keep God's commandments. We cannot repay Christ, but we can show our appreciation and that is all that he asks for!
