The Parable of the Iron

I was ironing one Sunday trying to get my five kids ready for church and my iron refused to produce any steam. I was getting increasingly frustrated as I tried to get out some stubborn wrinkles without the help of the steam. Suddenly I realized my iron wasn't broken, I had just forgotten to put in the water! After filling the iron with water I continued ironing with much better success. As I did this I thought about how sometimes I feel like I'm running out of steam. Many times I have felt like maybe I was broken when really I had just forgotten to fill up on the living water of the gospel. Filing up on the gospel can reenergize our spirits and help smooth out the stubborn wrinkles in life. This blog is dedicated to providing a little daily water to those who are running out of steam!

Being in tune with the Spirit

When I was younger, playing music was a big part of my life.  When I played in band the first thing we did was tune our instruments.  You usually tune your instruments to a pitch or note played by one instrument.  When instruments are in tune they play in harmony with each other.  However, when they are out of tune there is friction in the sound.  We are instruments in Heavenly Father's hands.  When we are in tune with the Spirit we can have peace and harmony in our lives.  However, if we are out of tune there may be friction. I would ask  you to tune out the noise of the world and tune in to the Spirit so you can create a beautiful melody in your life.
