Day 5: Ponderize

Inspired by Elder Devin G. Durrant's talk from yesterday's General Conference, I hand lettered my ponderize scripture verse of the week. It's slightly messy as I didn't sketch it out or perfect it, but it is wonderful to me. Hanging on my fridge, I read it every time I pass and feel the power of the scriptures uplifting me.

I love how these verses of scriptures can be safe places of refuge for our minds to rest. I often struggle with discouraging, negative thoughts, and this ponderize challenge truly came as an answer to my prayers. By meditating upon the scriptures, we provide a higher place to redirect our thoughts when they get out of hand. And as we add scripture upon scripture to our repertoire, we will gain valuable, reliable friends who will cheer, edify, and uplift us whenever we think upon them {see this beautiful talk by Elder Richard G. Scott}

Will you join me in the #ponderize challenge? Elder Durrant says he and his wife have made the goal to ponderize for 20 years--and they only have 17 year left.

It's a beautiful, simple, yet lofty challenge that will bless our lives in more ways than we can imagine.

What scripture verse are you ponderizing this week?

Scriptures are like packets of light that illuminate our minds and give place to guidance and inspiration from on high. They can become the key to open the channel to communion with our Father in Heaven and His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ.

~Elder Richard G. Scott
