Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Evening,
this post should take approximately three minutes to read from start to finish.
I would like to encourage you to think about, ask yourself and answer the following questions either now or in your own time. Do you think it is necessary for you to express "joy" towards your immediate family members, and your extended relatives throughout your life? Do you think it is necessary for you to express "joy" towards your friends throughout your life?
Do you think it is necessary for you to experience "joy" throughout your life? Do you think it is necessary for you to express yourself "joy" throughout your life? How can you apply "joy" in your life? This post focuses on October 2008 General Conference, and it is called "Finding Joy in the Journey" by President Thomas S. Monson. I would like to share with you some highlights while I was reading the talk. This post is part two. I hope that you would be able to learn something new while you are reading this post.
Do you think it is necessary for you to experience "joy" throughout your life? Do you think it is necessary for you to express yourself "joy" throughout your life?

President Monson has mentioned the following; "In the Doctrine and Covenants, section 88, verse 33, we are told: “For what doth it profit a man if a gift is bestowed upon him, and he receive not the gift? Behold, he rejoices not in that which is given unto him, neither rejoices in him who is the giver of the gift.” The ancient Roman philosopher Horace admonished, “Whatever hour God has blessed you with, take it with grateful hand, nor postpone your joys from year to year, so that in whatever place you have been, you may say that you have lived happily.”
... May we be found among those who give our thanks to our Heavenly Father. If ingratitude be numbered among the serious sins, then gratitude takes its place among the noblest of virtues. Despite the changes which come into our lives and with gratitude in our hearts, may we fill our days as much as we can with those things which matter most. May we cherish those we hold dear and express our love to them in word and in deed.
... His glorious gospel provides answers to life’s greatest questions: Where did we come from? Why are we here?
Where does my spirit go when I die?
He taught us how to pray. He taught us how to serve. He taught us how to live. His life is a legacy of love. The sick He healed; the downtrodden He lifted; the sinner He saved.

... His glorious gospel provides answers to life’s greatest questions: Where did we come from? Why are we here?
Where does my spirit go when I die?
He taught us how to pray. He taught us how to serve. He taught us how to live. His life is a legacy of love. The sick He healed; the downtrodden He lifted; the sinner He saved.
The time came when He stood alone. ... Let us follow Him. Let us emulate His example. Let us obey His word. By so doing, we give to Him the divine gift of gratitude.
Brothers and sisters, my sincere prayer is that we may adapt to the changes in our lives, that we may realize what is most important, that we may express our gratitude always and thus find joy in the journey. ..."
If you would like to read the whole talk either now or your own time, here's the link below.
How do you find joy in your life? I know that in the past; I often saw myself finding joy by spending some time with my husband when we go bike riding and groceries shopping, I find joy while talking to my family members, I find joy while talking to my true friends, I find joy by being happy during most times, and so forth.
Stay Tuned until next time.
