Faith is the Antidote for Fear {Printable}

If there's one thing I love more than creating holiday printables, it would have to be creating inspiration printables.  Holiday printables make me completely giddy, but if I really want a dose of wisdom and guidance, I turn to the inspirational quotes.

I've been reading the May issue of The Ensign (a monthly magazine put out by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints), and this article/talk entitled Let Your Faith Show by Elder Russell M. Nelson was a favorite of mine!  There were so many amazing thoughts in his message, but this short and simple one sums up faith perfectly!

I'm not sure what you worries are in life, but I'm sure you have them.  I know I do!  And while I'm not perfect at it, I have come a LONG way in replacing my fear with faith.  I've come to realize worrying doesn't get me anywhere, but in knotted mess.  I'm very grateful to know that I have a loving Heavenly Father who knows me, loves me, and will make everything work out for me in the end.  It may not be the way I want it to work out, but the way He wants, and I know His will is better than mine.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you found a little something worth your time.

Online Bible Easter Videos

As much as I love all the food, crafts, decor, and festivities of the holidays, the deeper meaning of Easter (and Christmas) means a lot more to me.  I thoroughly enjoy the fun of the secular part of holidays, but it's the spiritual side that makes me who am I, do what I do, and believe what I do.

So, today I share an amazing resource for some touching video clips you can use with your family during this special week leading up to Easter Sunday. 

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has a website I'm sure many of you have heard about (lds.org).  They have, in my opinion, the most touching series of bible videos anywhere!  I love watching them, and they actually really capture my boys' attention (their latest favorite being The Good Samaritan).  I love how quite and simple the videos are.  Not a lot of talking, but it's not needed.  You feel what you need to feel without it.

I have quite a few video links here.  You'll find the actual resurrection videos at the end, but I included all the videos they offer of the days before the Savior's death and resurrection. 

To This End Was I Born

The Lord's Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem

Jesus Warns Peter and Offers the Intercesorry Prayer

The Last Supper

The Savior Suffers in Gethsemane

Jesus Is Condemned Before Pilate

Jesus Is Tried by Caiaphas, Peter Denies Knowing Him

Jesus Is Scourged and Crucified

He Is Risen

Jesus Is Laid in a Tomb

Jesus Is Resurrected

Just in time for Easter The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is also sponsoring a "Because of Him" campaign.  You can click the image below to view a short clip of what His suffering and resurrection mean to each of us.  My everyday life is more meaningful, and hopeful.  I know I'll see and be with my family and loved ones again someday, even after we've left this earthly life.  I also know I can start new again, be forgiven when I fall, and never feel defeated.

I hope you'll take the time to view, if not all, just a few of these videos.  The I know they'll touch your heart, and bring the true meaning of Easter to life.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you found a little something worth your time.
