Galations 4:7  ...God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts...
 
Well, it is February, the month of love. We had Thanksgiving for which we focused on being thankful. Then we had Christmas and we focused on giving. Then there came New Years and we focused on starting over and now we have Valentines and we focus on love.  Each month we have a day that signifies something special. All this is well and good and we often need these reminders of special moments. However, how about the everyday things.

The Spirit of the Lord should be in our hearts each and every day. Let us take Thanksgiving. There are things that we should give thanks for each day. Things like family, friends, food to eat, a place    to live, etc.
 
And Christmas - we give to those who    are in need. We are more thoughtful and forgiving. Aren't there people everyday who are in need, not only in the physical way, but in a spiritual way also.  
 
The New Year means a new start - but God gives a us new start everyday, sometimes a new start with every prayer we say.
 
And now Valentines, a day set aside for showing love - is there a reason we can't show love everyday and so we should.
 
The Spirit of the Lord is not with us for just special occasions. If we truly live day to day with the Spirit of the Lord in our hearts, those special days will be the   icing on the top of already great days.
 
Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, we are thankful that you are in our lives everyday. Let us be thankful, giving, renewed and loving each and every day.  In Jesus name we pray. Amen
 
In Christian love,
Elder Judith Moore
