Pure in heart

Jacob gave us a great promise regarding the pure in heart.

"O all ye that are pure in heart, lift up your heads and receive the pleasing word of God, and feast upon his ^alove"(Jacob 3:2). He taught us the pleasing word of God "healeth the wounded soul" (Jacob 2:8).

I love you

Today, my dove promise told me, and I quote, "Learn to say, 'I love You' in a different language." Who am I to disobey an order given from a chocolate wrapper? Since I already know spanish (Te amo) I figure that one is too easy, so let's go for a few more fun ones...

Ti amo, Italian

Je t'aime, French

Mina rakastan sinua, Finnish

Ya lyublyu tebya, Russian

Jag a lskar dig, Swedish

Phom Rak Khun, Thai

Toi yeu em, Vietnamese

Kimi o ai shiteru, Japanese

Success

"Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go." My Dove Promise 1.4.10

Trials

"If we allowed them to, trials would purify us rather than defeat us." Spencer W. Kimball

It's a new year, and well....

what am I seeking? As I ponder this, I think of what Julie Powell learned from her inspiration Julia Child in her blog of The Julie & Julia Project (a newfound inspiration), "Perhaps that was the talent she discovered in herself at the age of 37, at the Cordon Bleu School in Paris – the thirst to keep finding out, the openness to experience that makes life worth living.." http://blogs.salon.com/0001399/

I don't know if I will ever be a fabulous cookie baker or amazing cook, but just like Julia, I will never give up.
