Why is it so hard to do what is right?

I think we all want to do what is right to one degree or another. It is not that difficult to want to do the right thing. However, when it comes time to actually do what is right it often takes courage.
Sometimes the fear of hurting someone causes us to fear doing what is right. Other times we just don't feel like we know how to do what is right. That is when we have to learn how to practice.
Practice doing the right thing with little things, then when the big things come along you will know why you need to do what is right. And knowing why you should do what is right is the most import thing to know when it comes to doing what is right.

A Covenant Family

As we get older the more we realize the importance of family. This will be more evident as the basic family unit is torn apart by society. The strength of your family will give you greater comfort and courage when you have to make hard decisions. It may at time seem that you are fighting against your own family at times, but when you are on God's side you will be assured that you are fighting for them not against them. The covenants we make with our Heavenly Father must be considered sacred and we must protect them. Families can be together and they will if you remain true to who you are.

Being Happy

Sometimes we think if we get what we want we will be happy. But that only works if what we want is right. Life is about learning to like what is right. We are constantly being tested, and sometimes we are going to make mistakes. The atonement of Christ will give you hope. That does not give you an excuse to make mistakes, but should give you hope that your mistakes will not eternally doom you to a warm and not so comfortable place. Being good, will lead you to being happy no matter what has or will happen in your life.

For My Boys

My son has informed me that he has been reading my blog and has requested that I use it more often so I have decided that I will use this opportunity to expand upon some of the thoughts that I have been using for my statusi on facebook. I will also be adding some of my pictures that I have been taking as I celebrate what is right with this world. I hope that you enjoy!
