Life's a garden... DIG IT !!

"Keep on keepin' on.  Life's a garden... DIG IT !!" 



These words mean a great deal to me.  Whenever I quote these profound words, I say that they come from a great philospher when in reality they are the words of a common man named Joe Dirt.  Just because they are from a simple minded, less than normal man does not take anything away from the deep meaning that they have.


LIFE isn't LIFE without a SMILE


To me, it means that no matter what happens.... We can and must continue.  Sometimes we are given hard times or challenges, but we have to just keep on keeping on.  There is no other choice in my mind.  I'm not a quitter.  As I powered through the tough times of school, I was blessed greatly with this Thanksgiving break, and I'm taking advantage of it.  It's the same in our lives, we find hard times, we power through them putting our Faith in God, and in Him we can find the "long-lasting Thanksgiving break."

Christ said, "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."
(John 16:33)

MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PICTURE OF CHRIST,
I'M SURE YOU CAN GUESS WHY ...

THE SMILE

Through Christ, we can find TRUE PEACE in this life.  We can be of GOOD CHEER knowing that He is by our side in all things.  He knows our challenges, and He knows the best way to handle them.  He is the Master.

Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin taught us that "the way we react can be a major factor in how happy and successful we can be in life."
 
He was counseled by his mother:"COME WHAT MAY, AND LOVE IT !"
 
It's simple enough...
 
 
KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON
LIFE'S A GARDEN... DIG IT !!
