Hey fam!
Don't have a ton of time to write this week but just wanted
to show a SUPER real example of the following scripture:
Mosiah 2:41
And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the
blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For
behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual; and if they hold
out faithful to the end they are received into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending
happiness. O remember, remember that these things are true; for the Lord God
hath spoken it.
So there's this guy in the ward who's name is Caninde and
he's literally one of the most humble and Christ-like people I have ever
met.
He is a simple baker and had a super hard problem of smoking
(the one that started when he was 8) but has always treated everyone around him
with genuine kindness - literally gives EVERYTHING he has, even if it’s hardly
anything.
So this is a picture of us in his house about a month ago -
super simple, only had a rede and a stove to make food.
Then enter the part about those who keep the commandments
are not only ridiculously happy, but also blessed in a spiritual AND physical
way.
Caninde, although not having much, working EVERY DAY to be able to have
the simplest of living, began to pay tithing.
And man did the Lord provide.
This is a picture of Caninde's house this past week –
complete with a refrigerator, a brand new dresser, a better
job that pays more with less hours, a GIGANTIC BED (did you SEE the size of
that thing??), and is now on the lunch calendar to feed 4 sisters every
month.
Who can deny that this man was infinitely blessed by the
Lord for his faith and obedience, even with his difficult situation?
TRUST IN THE PROMISES OF THE LORD AND HE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU
AND YOUR FAMILY.
People who listen and obey God's commandments in humility really
are the most happy of all His children.
love you all!!
