I don’t often do blogs with a religious theme, but my faith is an integral part of me and I have been so inspired by the talks I’ve listened to at our Church’s General Conference, that I needed to write about it…
I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, we are better known to many as Mormons…

Twice a year we have a General Conference, where the Prophet and our leaders share inspirations and revelations and Gospel messages with us…I listened to the talks this year, with my family, and we came away inspired and spiritually blessed.

I learned, or maybe a better word is reaffirmed, that I am important, that I am loved and known by my Father in Heaven, as are all His creations.
This quote from Dieter F. Uchtdorf, stood out most to me from his ‘Forget-me-not’ talk:

‘Sisters, wherever you are, whatever your circumstances may be you are not forgotten. No matter how dark your days may seem, no matter how insignificant you may feel, no matter how overshadowed you think you  may be, your Heavenly Father has not forgotten you. In fact, he loves you with an infinite love.
Just think of it: You are known and remembered by the most majestic, powerful and glorious Being in the universe! You are loved by the King of infinite space and everlasting time! He who created and knows the stars, knows you and your name. You are the daughters of his Kingdom.’

His talk concentrated on five points not to forget, five like the number of petals on a forget-me-not flower…
1. Forget not to be patient with yourself. (We are not perfect and the Lord is well aware of this!)  2. Forget not the difference between a good sacrifice and a foolish sacrifice. (Am I committing my time and energies to the things that matter most?) 3. Forget not to be happy now. (Keep forging ahead with your dreams and aspirations, but don’t forget to be happy with what you have now!) 4 Forget not the ‘why’ of the Gospel. (The Gospel of Jesus Christ is not an obligation it is a pathway, seek out the reasons why.) and 5. Forget not that the Lord loves you. (God loves you because you are his child.)
