My files called this the Lyman Family Cabin in Parowan
As I pondered this morning of all the rules and conditions, our parents have given us, out of Love. How we view their expectations and our obedience as conditions for their acceptance. I was reminded that as Heavenly Parents, when we return home, the most important thing to them will not be how we measure up, but they will throw their arms around us and hug us and say welcome home we are so proud of you.
AML Quote of the Week: 10-7-62 Some people think they can pray the weeds out of their fields and gardens, but their prayers can only be effectual when accompanied with a reasonable amount of honest labor rightly and wisely applied. I am in favor of praying. I love to pray myself, and I love to have the Saints pray. But when you have a great many weeds growing on your land, pray for your land, and do not forget to go out on to that land and pull up, remove and destroy by your diligent labor the weed-plants that so much annoy you.
AML Quote from Last Week: 12-9-55 I would advise you to give up all ideas of apostatizing. Suppose you wake up from your slumbers, and try my plan of getting a thorough knowledge of the truth. Suppose you try it for twenty years; be faithful to God, deal honestly with yourselves and your neighbor that long; love God that long, and cultivate a love of the truth that long, and it will effect quite a change in you. And probably you may be as much attached to the truth, by that time, as you are to your tea, coffee, and tobacco; not because they loved them when they were born, or had a natural taste for them, but because they have loved them ten, twenty, or thirty years.
They do not wake up and forget them, nor go into the field, and return home and forget them, because the recollection of them is fixed by long using them; they have become a principle of their life and being, as it were. Do you not wish the plan of salvation had become so fixed in you? Would you not be a great deal happier than you are now?

Many people know that apostle, Amasa Mason Lyman, was excommunicated, but few know that his membership was posthumously reinstated because of a dream. You can get the DVD about his life, "A Labor of Love," just go to the store for ordering information.
