How does your garden grow?
Larry Pearson, in an article entitled “The Parable of the Potato Weed”, taught, “In the gardens of our lives, weeds are always present. Some are small seedlings that don’t immediately do damage. Prophets of God have told us, however, that we need a daily reckoning of our lives, a frequent removal of all those weeds to keep them from overpowering us… when we allow things to go unchecked, small problems can grow into enormous sins that cannot be removed without tremendous effort.” (Parable of the Potato Weed - Larry Pearson)
In this episode, we discuss the fact that our minds are like gardens. To grow positive, uplifting thoughts, we need to prepare the soil, choose what thoughts we want to plant in our minds, and then diligently weed that garden, every day. Our enemy is planting thought-weeds continually in our minds. If those weeds - thoughts that bring us down and stop our progress - are not weeded out regularly, the thoughts themselves can grow into habitual ways of thinking that can destroy our hope and our belief that we can ever change.
In today’s episode, Karen, Kim, Kellie, and Roslyn issue a call to action. They invite you to learn how you can create a daily pattern to identify, acknowledge, and then remove those negative thoughts, so that you can greet each day with hope, faith, and courage, guided by the companionship of the Spirit.
President Nelson gave us the perfect call to action:
“Pray to know what to stop doing and what to start doing. Pray to know what to add to your environment and what to remove so the Spirit can be with you in abundance.” *
Having a weed-free mind will allow us to receive the guidance we need, and the courage to follow that guidance.
We hope you’ll join us!
*President Russell M. Nelson, Jan 10, 2016 Worldwide Devotional
