Sweet Samantha/Government

Sweet Samantha

Thank you mom for doing the laundry.

Thank you mom for the comfort you give us.

Thank you mom for doing the dishes.

Thank you mom for cooking dinner

 The other day I was getting stuff done and Samantha was playing with some of my magnets.  I asked her to stop and she immediately said, "Okay."  Then I walked over to the dishwasher and saw that she had written a little note telling me thank you for doing the dishes.  I was so surprised and felt so special.  I turned to her and said, "Oh, is this what you are doing?  Then go ahead and finish."  She did and I was delighted to find these little signs all over the kitchen.  She is a sweet girl and good at thinking of others.  She has been a huge help this last two weeks with my foot.  Stepping in when I need her.  Not needing to be asked, just doing.  It has been a delight and a blessing to have her helping me.

Book of Mormon, Helaman 3:32

"32  And it came to pass that there was peace and exceedingly great joy in the remainder of the forty and ninth year; yea, and also there was continual peace and great joy in the fiftieth year of the reign of the judges."

I believe that one of the reasons there was great peace was because of a righteous government. When our government was righteous there was peace, even amidst wars there was peace here at home. I don't feel that peace now. I worry about the decisions our government is making and worry about the consequences of those decisions.

But I do trust in my Heavenly Father. I know that the righteous will be taken care of. We may be persecuted and we may have some difficulties but the Lord will not forsake us. This I truly believe.
