Gardening is drawing yourself closer

Today I go over gardening and self reliance.  I feel it is so important to garden.  It teaches so many lessons about life.  Growing food is something humans have done in their own backyard up until recently.  I think we should go back to the way the Lord would want us to eat and feed ourselves.

 

 

 

With a garden we learn

  • How to care for a seed(like a child)
  • Where our food comes from
  • What you don’t see matters
  • The earth is a provider not a resource
  • Gardening is the ultimate gateway drug

Good Friends

by Ric on March 20, 2012

You don’t need to compromise your standards to be accepted by good friends.  The more obedient you are…the more the Lord can help you overcome temptation.  You can also help others because they will feel your strength.  Let them know about your standards by consistently living them…NO one intends to make serious mistakes.  They come when you compromise your standards to be more accepted by others.  You be the strong one. You be the leader.  Choose good friends and resist peer pressure together.

Elder Richard G. Scoott
