Where Your Treasure is . . . Your Heart is Also

This is a great link regarding the scripture in your life and what is can do

III Nephi 13:21

21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.




When I think of the Book of Mormon, it is like a treasure that came to life after being buried for centuries brought to our day.

The Book of Mormon has had always had a great impact on my life. I read it everyday and see such a difference in the choices I make, the music I listen to and the shows I watch on TV. When I am "super-charged with its pages," (immersed) I notice I want to listen to good music, even in the car! It helps me to be more attuned to those around me and communicate better. It inspires to write much of the time and what to write, too. I would not have the creativity to write poetry otherwise that is for sure!


I notice when I go to the temple I choose to listen to hymns and not the other music on the radio. Then, when I leave the temple I want to listen to more hymns to maintain the Spirit that was inside. It is all about making preparations and the ability to serve others with love, kindness and feel the Spirit within the walls of the temple. That way, I can take with me a portion of that feast with me and nibble on it for a while longer after leaving for that day.

It also makes me more receptive to hear and know things that will guide to do service and touch the lives of those in my life and around me. It never ceases to amaze me how things like that don't just happen. It comes with a price to forsake the world and know our heavenly Father is there of us, to pick up and lift our Spirits. To this I so testify.
