October Scripture Song

The October Scripture Song is here.  This one was extra fun because during General Conference the spirit gave me a little nudge so I knew that we needed a scripture song for this verse!  We have actually had part of this verse in our unofficial, seldom recited family mission statement for a couple of years and it's about time we memorize the whole verse!  While this verse was first given about a temple, it is a model for what we want our home to be. 

What are your goals to make your home more of a safe haven from the world?  Are there ways that the adversaries influence is leaking into your home?  Would it be worth the sacrifice (and possible initial resistance from children or even your own natural man) if it would make your home feel like more of a place of spiritual renewal? 

Here are some ideas of ways you could improve the spirit of your home.  Trust me, these are areas that can always be improved upon and that WE always have to revisit.

  • adults media choices
  • children's media choices            (including commercial content that comes up during either)
  • adult and children's music choices
Are these uplifting?  Do they help me become better?  Am I rationalizing something that is lowering my vibration and my ability to feel the spirit?

  • family scripture study
  • family prayer
  • and all of the things listed in this scripture song/verse
I promise that every sacrifice you make, and every step you take closer to God, he will take leaps toward you.  He's just waiting for you to be ready for more blessings that He has in store when you're ready!
