  This is gonna be a quick one!  HENGELLINEN SANOMA  spiritual thought  "I have spoken over the years with many individuals who have told me, “I have so many problems, such real concerns. I’m overwhelmed with the challenges of life. What can I do?” I have offered to them, and I now offer to you, this specific suggestion: seek heavenly guidance one day at a time.

First of all, thanks for bein here🙂‍↕️ and second, let's jump right in to answering this opening question. Hint: Heavenly Father has been blessing us with so many wonderful miracles... HENGELLINEN AJATUS  *spiritual thought* Moroni 7 27 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, have miracles ceased because Christ hath ascended into heaven, and hath sat down on the right hand of God, to claim of the Father his rights of mercy which he hath upon the children of men? 29 And because he hath done this, my beloved brethren, have miracles ceased? Behold I say unto you, Nay; neither have angels ceased to minister unto the children of men. 37 Behold I say unto you, Nay; for it is by faith that miracles are wrought... I love these scriptures and the important truths they teach. Miracles still happen! God lives, Jesus Christ lives, and they are constantly work...
