My Little Prayer

Last updated on: August 5, 2020 at 12:34 pm By Delisa Hargrove

My friend Rena sent a few miracle stories from her missionary son’s letter I could share! Reading them reminded me how many times I’ve offered up my little prayer to Heavenly Father and received an answer through another person or a song or an experience. Elder Jay Phung was called to serve in the Thailand Bangkok Mission and, because of COVID-19, has been reassigned for now to the California San Diego Mission speaking Thai. He’s incredibly musically talented and often shares... Read more

An Interesting Example Of Different Perspectives

Last updated on: July 30, 2020 at 1:51 pm By Delisa Hargrove

When our dog Stig rides in the back of our Toyota FJ, he only looks out of the windows on the driver’s side of the car. Sometimes when I know he’d love to see something interesting on the passenger side, I call him and try to convince him to look out those windows, but he just doesn’t. I feel like he misses a lot of different perspectives and interesting visual opportunities by choosing to limit his view. My friend Kathy... Read more

Miracles Come in Small Ways

Last updated on: July 27, 2020 at 3:19 pm By Delisa Hargrove

A miracle is a surprising and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore considered to be the work of a divine agency. One of my favorites in the list of spiritual gifts in Doctrine and Covenants 46 is to be a worker of miracles. And again, to some is given the working of miracles; We all can have that spiritual gift! If we listen to the Holy Ghost and act on its promptings, we... Read more

We Are Masters of Our Thoughts

Last updated on: July 23, 2020 at 11:48 pm By Delisa Hargrove

While wrapping up work late tonight, I felt a bit grouchy. It was late. I didn’t get as much done today as I expected. I have even more to do tomorrow. Meh. I wanted something to shift my rising emotion. I felt the thought to go to Family Search and look at Grandma Leona’s pictures. While I’ve never had that thought before, it didn’t seem too bizarre. She was the grandparent I knew best. She was consistently the person who... Read more

O That I Were An Angel — To Have a Voice and Be Visible

Last updated on: July 16, 2020 at 6:41 pm By Delisa Hargrove

I love having friends that share their scripture study insights! I love learning from new perspectives. Roxy Kimokeo shared another gem about one of my very favorite verses of scripture—O that I were an angel. I loved pondering about my desire to hide and shrink versus my desire to stand forth boldly like Alma does. O that I were an angel, and could have the wish of mine heart, that I might go forth and speak with the trump of God, with... Read more

John Bushman’s Severe Accident

Last updated on: July 16, 2020 at 6:02 pm By Delisa Hargrove

I’m in the mood for healing and miracle stories. My great-great-grandfather John Bushman recorded one of his harrowing experiences rather matter-of-factly. Can you imagine getting your head partially scalped from falling under a wagon, and then getting up and trying to remain calm for your son (who is my great grandfather) and passenger while you drove yourself to the nearest town? All matter-of-factly? I love this story, and how he thanks everyone who helped him, and attributed his healing to... Read more

Sojourner Truth “Ain’t I a Woman?”

Last updated on: July 9, 2020 at 7:28 pm By Delisa Hargrove

Why read others’ words about freedom? They color the mosaic of freedom in our minds and hearts. We discern the disparities between “then” and “now.” We realize that some struggles have not yet been overcome. And we see ourselves as a potential hinge-point of change, no matter how tiny and small. Sojourner Truth/Isabella Baumfree (1797-1883) was born into slavery in New York but took her freedom in 1826. She spoke only Dutch until she was nine years old. Her final... Read more

“Good Morning!” Praises though the Battle Rages

Last updated on: July 7, 2020 at 4:55 pm By Delisa Hargrove

A dear friend of mine battles intense darkness. She’s shared her furnace of affliction with me and I’ve cried and prayed for her and rejoiced at her victories. She diligently, daily studies the “Come, Follow Me” study guide for the Book of Mormon and various extra resources. I’ve begun noticing a change in her perspective. While she still has very bad days, she’s beginning to at least start those days in grateful praise and worship! Her words have become psalms... Read more

A Portion of His Spirit to be an Instrument

Last updated on: June 30, 2020 at 6:37 am By Delisa Hargrove

“And it came to pass that they journeyed many days in the wilderness, and they fasted much and prayed much that the Lord would grant unto them a portion of his Spirit to go with them, and abide with them, that they might be an instrument in the hands of God to bring, if it were possible, their brethren, the Lamanites, to the knowledge of the truth, to the knowledge of the baseness of the traditions of their fathers, which were not correct” (Alma 17:9.) “A Portion...

Jeffrey A Bushman: A Dream About My Future Wife

Last updated on: June 29, 2020 at 4:57 pm By Delisa Hargrove

A Dream About My Future Wife by Jeffrey A. Bushman I have always enjoyed reading the scriptures and one area that I thought was amazing was that the Lord uses dreams to bless the lives of His children. I have had many dreams, but only a few that I felt had the hand of the Lord in giving guidance in helping make life decisions. Sometimes I haven’t realized the purpose of a dream until much later. The following experiences came... Read more
