Other's - People who I know and have asked them about Spiritual Thoughts

 

Eileen Cooper Keefer (87 years old)


I have known Eileen my whole life, more like she has known me my whole life. Eileen was one of my few neighbors growing up. I asked Eileen  What do you think of when you hear of a Spiritual Thought? Her response was "Jesus is on my mind,  almost every day all day long. My kids are always at each other and I pray, pray, pray for them". Then she porcedes to tell me about a friend who brought her a poinsetta (pictured), her friend found out he has cancer and she didn't know what to say to him or do.  I suggested sharing a spiritual or uplifting message to him. Send a card - She was going to look through her cards and send one to him in hopes that he will feel her love from all the past kind things he has done for her.  How can you not feel the Saviors Love from all the the kind things others have done for  you?  Even the simplest note that someone may send. You can be spiritually uplifed and feel loved through something so simple. Who can you share a thought or message to today? 


Another question I asked her was What spiritual thought do you remember or have enjoyed though out your life. Her response was  "I miss going to church (Lutheran),  I listen to messages on TV, Catholic messages, the Morman Tabernacle choir has some special songs from when I grew up that I remember, they sing before a man shares a message." She couldn't recall what it was called, but I knew exactly what she was talking about ...the Spoken Word I said. With a smile she replied "Yes that was it". To think that those who can not attend church for whatever circumstances they might be in, they can hear a spiritual thought or message from something like the "Music & the Spoken Word".  Another great TV program that comes to mind is General Conference that airs twice a year in April & October. What spiritual message stands out and touched your heart that you can remember from watching Music and the Spoken word or General Conference? 

Music & the Spoken Word has been around for a century.

Testimony

For my spiritual thought I want to share more about my experience from the helping others activity. My helping others activity was in person and solo español. Which to me seemed a little overwhelming but I feel like I did a good job. It wasn't because my Spanish was good, because that is far from the truth. It is because I taught with conviction. I know with everything I believe and more that what I said about our lesson is true. The women we taught saw and heared it. She said I had a fuerte testimony. She is right. I have a super strong testimony and people can see it. So where ever or whenever you might share what you believe. Say it with passion and love and conviction. Conviction allows the spirit to be the teacher. When you are sure in where you stand the spirit enlightens it. I know what I know to be true. I see the impact of the gospel on mine and so many other lives. It is so important to me. I know this gospel is true in the name of Jesus Christ Amen. - Elder Carson Corder...

SPIRITUAL THOUGHTS from my perspective

  Who doesn't love a SPIRITUAL THOUGHT?  According to AI -Spiritual thoughts are reflections on deeper meaning, purpose, and connection, moving beyond the material to concepts like love, God, nature or inner peace, often involving self-improvement, altruism, and seeking divine guidance or universal truth. T hey are characterized by  peace ,   hope ,  and  wisdom ,  contrasting with fear-driven "carnal" thoughts, and can arise from prayer, meditation, or quiet contemplation Through out my life I have always loved small and simple spiritual thoughts or messages given in so many ways. Not all are spiritual, but  they uplift me when I'm down, they bring me peace when I need it, they help me through hard days and they just make me feel loved by my Heavenly Father and my Savior. The Joy that can be found in a spiritual thought or message. When I hear or read a spiritual thought, what makes me connect with God and feel HIs love? What do I want to learn f...
