Rod & Patrice Hunt Family: Traveling Companions. . .

Traveling Companions. . .

"Plague" was traveling with two friends, "Doubt" and "Fear" when a man ran into them and asked, "Is it true, Plague, that you are going to kill 10's of thousands of people when you go to England?"

Plague shook his head and said, "No, I will only kill a few hundred. . . Doubt and Fear will do the rest."

How many times do WE let "doubt" and "fear" into our lives, giving them access to hurt us, whether it be physically, mentally, emotionally, or socially? I think it's important for us to recognize this possibility when we are struggling with something. Recognize doubt and fear for what they are -- undesirable traveling companions -- and SEND THEM PACKING!!!

Our Heavenly Father is not a God of fear!! His son, our Savior, is not a God of fear!! Trust Him. Believe Him. Get rid of bad traveling companions and you will travel light!!

Love,

Mom

We are members of Christ's Restored Church

As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we recognize and honor Jesus Christ as the Son of God, the Redeemer of the World, and as our Savior. It is only through Him, and because of Him, that we have a sure knowledge and foundation in our purpose here in mortality, understand why very difficult things happen to good people, and we trust in our Savior and our Heavenly Father. We hope that anyone who has questions, or is seeking spiritual guidance, will seriously look into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at: MORMONS

QUOTES

*"And now my sons (and daughters), remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our redeemer, who is Jesus Christ, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation; a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall."

--Helaman 5:12

Holding onto anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone...YOU are the one who gets burned!

People who fixate on destroying their enemies need TWO graves. . .one for their enemy and one for themselves!

Vengeance fixes your attention at life's ugliest moments.

Anger never builds anything, but it can destroy everything!

All the water in the world, however hard it tried,
Could never sink the smallest ship, unless it got inside.
And all the evil in the world, the blackest kind of sin,
Can never hurt you the least bit, unless you let it in.
