"The Gospel is not weight, it is wings."

O.k. , now that General Conference is done -we have a whole new slew of wonderful thoughts and quotes to blog from. I could just post one great thought after another, in an effort to help you and I build up those neuro-pathways of positiveness and hope- in our brains. I won't do that, as we all can just go back and re-watch or read it. But, I will share a few thoughts. One of the thoughts that struck me was from Jean Stevens.

"The gospel of Jesus Christ is not a checklist of things to do; rather, it can live in our hearts. [It] is not weight; it is wings. It carries us.”  

So very true!! I think the same is true for healing. Sometimes, we look at life and healing as a checklist of do's and don'ts , of tasks, and ways we need to change and then we get discouraged when it doesn't appear that we are checking things off that list. I have been heard to say many times that if we feel that the gospel is a burden ---then we are not doing it right. The gospel was never meant to burden or oppress. Instead it was meant to lift us, despite the burdens we may carry. The gospel message is a message of peace, of love and of hope. Take a moment to listen or read again some of the conference talks
