The Mother-Daughter Project: How Mothers And Daughters Can Band Together, Beat The Odds, And Thrive
Hilke Mcnally
I don't see a problem with praying for what we want as long as we learn to wait on God's timing and learn to recognize His answers when they come in a moment, an hour, a day, months, or even years. Too often we are so focused on what we think should be the outcome that we miss even greater blessings and direction. Sadly, many curse the Lord or blame Him when the results aren't what they expected. I believe in the recent teachings of President Nelson that we should all seek for personal revelation and inspiration. If we feel we aren't getting answers to our prayers or we aren't recognizing the answers, then perhaps we need to pray that the Holy Ghost helps us modify our prayers and helps us overcome any discouragement while we are waiting.

Thank you so much for that beautiful uplifting article! I pray for my boys, that angels may be by their sides, to help them through the hardships they are experiencing, through their life due to their actions, but I always let heavenly Father know, that He knows them intimately and they are in His hands.
Thank you for this. The current culture of demonization MUST be stopped. A dear family member is suffering because their children have been allowed to escape the discomfort of discipline under the mistaken believe that it is cruel. So sad!
Many are deceived by the actual horrors of the present Gadiantin robbers (elected officials) on the state and national level.May our hearts be opened, and our hands elect righteous leaders again nationally and locally here in Utah.
One of the most important axioms that we can uphold, is to in unity discard the deceitful discussion of left and right, and instead Focus on the foundational truth of right and wrong. And one absolute foundational pillar in the structure of America, is the Constitution of the United States, inspired and endorsed by God himself. President David O McKay had this to say:"Other than being one and worshiping God, there is nothing in this world upon which this church should be more united than in upholding and preserving the constitution of the of the United States."
The Book of Mormon speaks of ambitious men and political leaders who "stirred up unto anger" their people for the purpose of gaining power and influence, often resulting in war and conflict. (Alma 48:3;51:9;63:14.) Lamanite kings are not the only ones who employ such tactics. How I wish that we could all recognize that for what it is: knee-jerk politics, or at its worst, radicalization!"It is the wicked that stir up the hearts of the children of men unto bloodshed." Mormon 4:5So: Don't vote Lamanite! Their leaders and pundits are forever using false (but alluring) traditions to stir up anger, resentment and distrust in their unwitting followers.
An eight-year-old article that speaks even louder as we approach the 2024 election. Will our nation be blinded by cunning and flattering words? There are plenty of news stories making it clear what is happening, but we are being told not to listen to them; don't trust the mainstreet media. I think of the scripture that warns there would come a day when the people would not accept the truth, but be turned to fables. I would suggest that instead of setting aside the warnings of the mainstreet press, spurn the media that has sprung up to counter the truth, dealing in fables to our destruction.
Thank you for this beautiful article. What a wonderful reminder that we shouldn't "sweat the small stuff" and in the grand scheme of things most earthly things are "small stuff." Even things that we may THINK are big stuff, like a messy garage, are really only small stuff. Thanks for reminding us to focus on the small ONES who are the most important.
Wonderful story and exactly what I needed today! My living room has been a disaster zone since my son passed away last year...and I'm embarrassed about it. However, other things seem to take priority....some of them important and some not so much! I'm going to take your advice and ask Heavenly Father to help me prioritize! Thank you so much!
While I am sure some of those other things weigh on you as well, I am thankful for your priorities. It reminds me that people over projects is always the right choice. Projects will always be there and we will get to them as soon as possible but I will remember this wonderful reminder of the BEST choice.
WOW! Thank yo so much for this article! I lie on Salt Spring Island bc Canada, to get to our Stake center I have a 15 min. drive to the ferry, usually get there 1 hr. before sailing, to make sure i get on, then just a 25 min. drive to the Stake Center in Victoria. So this morning I'm so thankful for your story, I will leave at 10:40 to catch the 11:50 ferry, stay overnight in our camper van and catch the 9am ferry back, in the morning, to be home at 10am. I could have chosen to stay home and miss out on our Stake Talent Show and taken care o things at home, but I decided to support the Stake leaders who have put so much work into this event, they and I will be blessed for this. As I took down from the walls my crosstitch picture I have made through the years, I noticed they were dusty, but noone would have known that!
Thank you for the article. While I appreciate that the "messy garage" may be a sign that the family or persons are engaged in other worthwhile causes (and I hope they are), I see it also as a sign of neglect. Does it cause issues within the family? Does it affect the budget when items can't be found and new purchases must be made? Does it prevent the storage of other necessities or worthwhile items, such as camping equipment or emergency preparedness supplies? Is it a fire hazard?
Great points made here. I would add that we need to keep our statements simple. I thought the suggested statement about how to talk to a neighbor about not returning tools was too long. Keep is short and simple. Example: "Sam, I'm really happy to lend you my tools, and could you please return them as soon as you're finished?" No need for more than a sentence.
The older I become, the more I treasure wearing my temple garment. "Putting on Christ" every day is a great blessing. I feel the Savior has clothed me with great tenderness and love. If we train ourselves to think about the act of dressing in the garment each day as a renewal of our covenant to follow Christ, it will strengthen us throughout the day. Also, we need to remember that, Just as we would never allow the flag to touch the ground, we should show respect for the garment by caring for it carefully.
Very well written and thought provoking. Good to share with young missionaries and YSAs. I recall a book I read many years ago. ( I believe it was titled, THE BROKEN COVENANT) The adulterous woman, while communing with her bishop, was deeply contemplating when she first committed adultery. The answer.....when she made the decision to remove her garments. WOW! I have never forgotten that!!! THANKS, Mariah.
I would refer to a book, Earth in the Beginning, by Eric Skousen. Very good science against evolution. Yes, there may have been natural selection and adaptation, but no evolving into different kinds. Also, the series, Is Genesis History?, puts a whole lot of serious doubt into evolution and the age of the earth.
If the Lord created us through evolution, so be it - He can do all things. However, 13 years of public education, and 8 years of higher education has failed to show me sufficient evidence for macro evolution. In fact, from what I have seen, those who tout this view have way more faith than I do. I just can't make that leap - and they take many leaps of faith. There is some good, solid evidence to the contrary, as I later discovered, but it l doesn't always make it past the academic filters which protect the narrative (not the truth). I've seen this narrative protection in progress in my own courses, a kind of circular reasoning.
This theory of evolution-- and it is a theory, it's not provable science--appeared on the world scene roughly at the same time as the Restored Gospel was beginning to gain a foothold. It is, in my opinion the blackest of lies from the deepest pit of Hell carefully introduced among the world's elite to deceive and to discredit God. Elder McConkie said as much in his landmark address, the Seven Deadly Heresies".I'm no scientist but I know enough to assert that mankind, the children of God, did not at any time or in any sense "evolve" from lower life forms.All life was commanded at creation to multiply "after its own kind", not to morph from one kind to another. In sacred places we hear that fact stated over and over.
I have no problem accepting both evolution and religion. To evolutionist I say, nothing about evolution makes it necessary to exclude a supreme being. To the religionist I say, nothing about creation excludes God from using evolution to help bring it about. While I believe in evolution, I realize that it is just a theory and not a fact. It will not become a fact until scientists can change one type of life form into another type of life form.
While studying at the University of Nebraska I found science books published by BYU. In one was a forward by the then current president of the university. In it he wrote that as far as evolution was concerned, he had only the opinion that evolution may happen, but the first humans on earth were Adam and Eve. I agree with him wholeheartedly.
I am surprised that Peterson makes no mention of Darwin's doubts about his theory. He was especially concerned about the large gap in the evolutionary tree where hundreds of species seem to all appear at once with no transitional evidence. He was deeply moved by the eye saying that it seemed an impossible thing to create by pure random mutations.
I commented earlier, but it seems not to have posted. I want to comment again because I feel so strongly about this.I have been given so much in my life - a wonderful family, the gospel,healthn and for the last several years, these wonderful articles.How can I not give back just a bit and give life to one of these precious children! These are truly "the least of these," and I hear the Savior's admonition to all of us. I am grateful for all you are doing, and delighted to give back just a bit as a token of my gratitude.
