Stand together (Cattle Story)

This is a story from this book called The Missionary's Little Book of Inspirational Stories

 

Lesson of the Hereford Cows

"I like the story and the philosophy of storms expressed by a rugged old-time cowboy who said he had learned life's most important lesson from Hereford Cows. All his life he had worked cattle ranches where winter storms took a heavy toll among the herds. Freezing rains whipped across prairies. Howling, bitter winds piled snow into enormous drifts. Temperatures dropped quickly to below-zero degrees. Flying ice cut into the flesh. In this malestorm of nature's violence, most cattle would turn their backs to the icy blasts and slowly drift downwind, mile upon mile. Finally, intercepted  by a boundary fence, they would pile up against the barrier and die by the scores. But Hereford Cows acted differently. They would head into the wind and stand shoulder-to-shoulder facing the storm's blast. "You most always found the Hereford's alive and well," said the cowboy. "I guess that is the greatest lesson I ever learned on prairies - just face life's storms." = Norman Vincent Peale

How can this story relate to usin our individual live? We should always stand up for what we believe, Stand up for whats right everyone has the right to their opinions. When we see somebody who feels alone or picked on go to them and offer a hand and help them up and be a friend and do what is righjt. We are never alone though there maybe times in our own lives we feel like we cant go on or succeed in this life well if we do feel that way we should realize on the Holy Bible and the Book Of Mormon because they have answers to all the questions that we may have, We should also rely on God and to do our own personal prayers to hime. How do we pray to him? Well here is how. 1. Start with Dear Heavenly Father, 2. Tell him what your greatful for, 3. Ask him for his guidence or protection or advice that he can give you, 4. and when you feel like your done always end it by saying (in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen). I promise you that Heavenly Father does listen and answers to our prayers and he always willing to help us BUT we must ask him for his help.

Happy Mother's Day

This is going to be a long post. Do read cause it will help you I hope.
I will be talking about curtain events that occured in my life from when I was 7 years old to present. That had my MOM in it because she was a huge part of my life. Still is to this day and all my other family members. Hopefully I can remember most of the events that happned so here we go...

Happy Mother's Day MOM :) I know that this post is a little bit early but I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate in all you did for me and the family. I wanted to say thank you for adopting me and taking so much of your time to adopt me and to teach me english and other things that will help me grow and learn from. I know I havent always told you how grateful I am for the things youv'e taught me and always willing to be there through the hard times I have had to endure. I remmeber the time when you always cleaned my leg because of the lizerath I was wearing and you were wiling to keep my leg clean even when there were times you didnt want to c lean it caused it were cause some pain to occure. I will always rememebr when I went to go and get Surgeries on my left leg and some of those surgeries were really frightening for me to even want to go and endure the pain from the surgies that eventually helped my leg out more. But you were always there before and after the surgeries, to tell me that things will be alright. That i shouldnt need to worry because God is in control in everything that happens in each of our day to day lives. everytime you tell me things will be alright they always will be alright cause I put my trust in the things you've told me when I was little. I still remember when everyone attended to my baptism when I was 8 years old. I will always remember that day even though I didnt know a whole lot English. Ok jumping a few years later. I remember when you and dad came to the classrooms in church when I got set apart as a 2nd counselor, and later secretary in the Deacons quroum class at age 12. I remember the same thing when I got set apart as 1st counselor in the Teacher Qorum class at age 14. You always supported me during those times. At age 16 going to turn 17 in a few months later at that time. I am sure my famliy and I will always remember this hard and tragic, sad day. Feburary 15, 2007 When dad past away from a heart attack. I will always remember the good times he spent his time with the family and that he cared so much for us. I remember when you went in the ambulance with dad and you came home awhile later. You came home and you wanted to talk to me and you were crying and I knew something was wrong. As you (mom) were trying so hard to be strong and to explain what happned to dad and eventually you told me and that was a heart break for me cause it felt like dad wasnt here for very long but you told me to always remember the good times we all had with dad during the time he was here. Ok a few years later I think at age 18. I remember when we took my favorite dog Amy to the vet to put her down because she was really sick and was old to the point where she couldn't enjoy being happy. So you asked me what I would like to do and I said it probably will be best to put her down and I said ok lets do it even though I really didn't want to. As the vet doctor was putting the medicine for her to go to sleep I remember seeing Amy was lowering her head and I just kept crying to tell her I loved her and that I will always remember the kindess that Amy showed to me and those around us Amy has always been there through are family good and hard times especially my hard times. As we were leaving the vet doctor you (MOM) said that she is in a better place and that I will get to see her after this life. A few months later I earned my Duty to God award and My Eagle Scout Award and my mom and family were very supporting through all the events. A few months later.. I graduated from American Heritage Of South Jordan (its a private school and the best school :)) I remember seeing my family there in the audience and ready to see me graduate. After the Graduation we stand around talking taking pictures and having a swell time. A few more months later. I was preparing to go on a Mission for The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints. Mom you were willing to help me get ready to go and you were so excited for me to wanting to go on a mission. Before I was getting to leave on Feb 16, 2011 I was with my best friend and we were walking home and I slipped on some ice and broke a small peice of bone in my left arm and my best friend he helped me get home and I was postponed to leave for my mission so I had to wait till March 30, 2011 to leave. I remember when I had my apendix sydise taken out and MOM you were there all the way to help me and give me some comforting words when the doctors could find a nice vein in my body cause I was really dehydrated and sick. My family they all came to the Hospital and my brother, my brother in law and Chris Yates gave me a blessing saying that I will make it thru the sergury and I did. Well thats the most important events I wanted to say thank you to all my MOM, family members, best friends, friends, and those that i know I am greatful for the support I have from them because they truly have been there and I always willing to teach me things that will help benefit me in later in life. Now I am doing well and enjoying my mission and doing the best I can to serve the Lord as much I can.
