We learn in the scriptures that “remembrance” plays an important role in the gospel plan.  We constantly need to be reminded about who we are, where we come from, and what we are doing here.  For that reason I subscribe to e-mail listserv’s that send out good quotes every day. I usually get them on my blackberry at different times throughout the day and make it a point to read them where ever and what ever I am doing.  :)

So that it doesn’t get to be an annoyance, but it just keeps reminding me about what is important I only subscribe to two (although there are lots out there!).

  • LDS-Gems – Daily quotes from leaders that “offer inspiration and increased gospel knowledge for both members and nonmembers”
  • The LDS Daily WOOL (Words Of Our Leaders) – pretty much the same as above, but I have never have overlapping quotes to my knowledge.  Good stuff! :)

The quote from today on WOOL is just AWESOME!

“Nephi-like, might we ask ourselves what our children know? From us? Personally? Do our children know that we love the scriptures? Do they see us reading them and marking them and clinging to them in daily life? Have our children ever unexpectedly opened a closed door and found us on our knees in prayer? Have they heard us not only pray with them but also pray for them out of nothing more than sheer parental love? Do our children know we believe in fasting as something more than an obligatory first-Sunday-of-the-month hardship? Do they know that we have fasted for them and for their future on days about which they knew nothing? Do they know we love being in the temple, not least because it provides a bond to them that neither death nor the legions of hell can break? Do they know we love and sustain local and general leaders, imperfect as they are, for their willingness to accept callings they did not seek in order to preserve a standard of righteousness they did not create? Do those children know that we love God with all our heart and that we long to see the face—and fall at the feet—of His Only Begotten Son? I pray that they know this.” – Jeffrey R. Holland, “A Prayer for the Children,” Ensign (CR), May 2003, p.85

So what listserv’s do you subscribe to?  How do you “remember” all the great things the Lord has done for you?
