About You Were Gifted: The Quest to Receive

You are worthy to receive good gifts from your Heavenly Father! You are worthy of love, of goodness, and of healing! Jesus Christ is the ultimate giver of gifts. We have so much available to us to receive in this life! Light, truth, hope, yes even miracles! I am on a quest to become a great receiver! Learn with me as we study, discover, and change the way we are in relation to accepting gifts, and receiving all the good gifts available to us. I love to give gifts. From the time I was a little child I was very conscientious about the process of giving gifts and making others feel really special. I crave it like pickles and ice cream at 8 months pregnant. My gift budget is always over the limit and I look for little ways to surprise and delight people when they are not expecting it. I love anonymous giving especially. I imagine that our Heavenly Father is like this. He delights to give us good gifts. He is ready to shower us with blessings. But..... We are tricky humans. We tend to think we don’t deserve them. Maybe we have to make them ourselves, and wrap them too. Oh, and buy them. Why are we so slow to receive? ”But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9 ”Nevertheless, they shall return again to their own place, to enjoy that which they are willing to receive, because they were not willing to enjoy that which they might have received.” Doctrine and Covenants 88:32 Let the quest begin! My mission is to help as many humans as I can join the quest to receive ALL that God is willing to grant us! Every day, every minute, every moment. For like one of my favorite mentors ever said: ”Moments are the molecules that make up eternity!” (yes he did use an exclamation point!) Neal A. Maxwell I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints. I am starting this podcast as a way to help myself and others come unto Christ and to learn to RECEIVE all the good gifts available to us! My disclaimer is from another mentor of mine, Dieter F. Uchtdorf: ”You will find that this church is filled with some of the finest people this world has to offer. They are welcoming, loving, kind, and sincere. They are hardworking, willing to sacrifice, and even heroic at times. And they are also painfully imperfect. They make mistakes. From time to time they say things they shouldn’t. They do things they wished they hadn’t. But they do have this in common--they want to improve and draw closer to the Lord, our Savior, even Jesus Christ. They are trying to get it right. They believe. They love. They do. They want to become less selfish, more compassionate, more refined, more like Jesus.” Thank you for taking a chance on me. I hope you find value here. I love you already. Email me at: wardlea15@gmail.com with your stories, your ideas, your critiques and your questions!

18. The Gift of Investing in Covenants

The process of making and keeping covenants is an experience in investing! Join me today as I share my thoughts on how investing in covenants specifically in the house of the Lord is an important process we need to continuously work on and keep up with and track, so we can grow and gain the best return! Settle this in your Hearts by Neal A.

17. The Power of the Word: what I learned from having kidney stones

Slow and behold, here is my next episode..haha. Listen in as I share what I learned from my experience with kidney stones. They are from the devil. And I really would never wish them on anyone. Drink water folks! Don't get physically dehydrated, but more importantly, how can you stay spiritually hydrated! I have embarked on a quest to do better in 1 specific area in my life. I mention the Doctrine of Christ in this episode. I want to point out that I failed to mention the one aspect of that Doctrine which is the Gift of the Holy Ghost. Perhaps that is a lesson for me. But Faith, repentance, baptism, and the Gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring the end, along with living a life of covenant keeping will bless us as we find our way home. Jesus Christ is the Light and the Life of the world. If we follow Him we can be at peace. Please enjoy reading the talks I reference! They are all excellent and full of wisdom and hope!

I was able to listen to this talk in the conference center and it was given a few days after I recorded this episode! I was so pierced by his message and it was in line with the personal revelation I have received and I am excited to share more about this talk in other episodes. Conference was SO good! Can't wait to dig deep!

Have you ever thought about pain being a gift? In this episode I explore the idea that our pain, suffering, both spiritual and physical are opportunities to dig deep and understand what is really happening and what we can do to grow. https://joettecalabrese.com/ [https://joettecalabrese.com/] Here is the link I promised with more info about Homeopathy and I encourage you to check it out!

14. The Gift of the Holy Ghost

This episode we start the discussion of the life long quest to understand, respond to, and access the Gift of the Holy Ghost. 20 minutes just isn't enough time to talk about everything I want to share, but this is a start. Here is the link to the amazing talk I reference in the podcast. Go listen! So much more to unpack here! Personal Revelation: The gift, The Test, and the Promise (Elder Boyd K. Packer) [https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/1994/10/personal-revelation-the-gift-the-test-and-the-promise?lang=eng#subtitle1] The beautiful music for this weeks podcast. I loved the title. Waiting for you is kind of what the Holy Ghost is doing with us. Waiting for us. Ready and waiting. For us to receive. Waiting for You (Monument Music) [https://pixabay.com/music/wedding-waiting-for-you-piano-166421/] And this talk by President Russell M. Nelson is phenomenal and worth another listen: Revelation for the Church, Revelation for our Lives (Russell M. Nelson) [https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2018/04/revelation-for-the-church-revelation-for-our-lives?lang=eng#title1] And of course my favorite talk from the October 2023 General Conference. Hearing this talk the day after I launched my podcast was a powerful reminder that I was on the right track and that the Lord was very aware of me and my desire to gather Israel and understand the role the Holy Ghost plays in my life and in my ability to receive all the gifts the Lord has for me and for each of us.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
