One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walks from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you...

Friday, August 29, 2014. Obedience: The First Law of Heaven. Joseph Smith taught that,. There is a law, irrevocably decreed in heaven before the foundations of this world, upon which all blessings are predicated—And when we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated" (Doctrine and Covenants 130:20-21).
