OIL IN YOUR LAMP

Matthew 25:1-13
This is called Oil in your Lamp because I will make suggestions on what I have learned that has helped me and in the comments the rest of you can add your ideas.
I tried to upload an image of an oil lamp but haven't figured that out yet so maybe I will add it later.
I have been thinking about this for a long time and maybe I should set up a website instead. I want to have something we can all do to help each other and our friends prepare for the coming of the Savior.
One drop of oil at a time.

A. Prayer - Also refer to April 4, 2009 blog - Miskin Milestone
1. Add prayer to your daily activities.
2. If you are already praying daily but only once, add another prayer time.
3. Have family prayer daily and if you are married at least one prayer with your spouse separate from the children.
4. If you have children and have not taught them to say individual prayers now is a good time to start teaching them.
5. Always have a prayer of gratefulness in your heart to our Father for the abundant blessings He has given us.
6. Before praying think of questions you might have about your life and relationship with HF and J. Ask them in your prayers.
7. After establishing a regular prayer each day. Bring a notebook and pen with you to your prayers and write down any inspiration you might feel.

Reunion/favorite books

Well, I was going to post some pictures from the reunion that Jennifer took but they are on her computer and we are now using my computer again.
So here I am going to post some books that I recommend to read. It is funny because I hardly ever read fiction but two that have affected me through the years are:
Janice Meredith I do not know the author but it is historical about the civil war
David and Jonathan This is a book about modern day boys who learn to love each other as the biblical pair did.
War and Peace - This is a very long book but I loved it.

These are very old books so I am not sure if you can find them in print. These books changed my life and attitude at a crucial time in my teen years. In fact, I hardly ever read fiction now so here are some others that influenced me.
How to Win Friends and Influence People I believe this is by Dale Carnegie
I Dare You by William H. Danforth
Enjoy!
