A Saint is a Sinner Who Keeps On Trying

I might be a Saint, but I am not a perfect one. I still find myself sinning. 
I am a Saint who sins but is still trying. 
Trying to always Choose The Right 
and
Trying to keep God within my sight.
The following is part of a talk called
 "Latter Day Saints Keep On Trying" 
given by Dale G. Renlund.
"God cares a lot more about who we are and who we are becoming than about who we once were. He cares that we keep on trying."
President Thomas S. Monson has taught:
“One of God’s greatest gifts to us is the joy of trying again, 
for no failure ever need be final.”
 Dale G. Renlund further stated that:
"My invitation to all of us 
is to evaluate our lives, repent, and keep on trying. 
If we don’t try, we’re just latter-day sinners; 
if we don’t persevere, we’re latter-day quitters; 
and if we don’t allow others to try, 
we’re just latter-day hypocrites. 
As we try, persevere, and help others to do the same, 
we are true Latter-day Saints. 
As we change, 
we will find that God indeed cares a lot more about who we are 
and about who we are becoming 
than about who we once were."  

The rest of the talk can be located on lds.org. 
May we continually try to Choose The Right
 And always keep God within our sight
Sincerely shared by me, 
Carol Louise with the last name of MOORE.

The DRIVE Through Life Prayer


May we never get lost
No matter what the cost
May we always find our way
No matter what time of day
May we always Choose The Right
Keeping God within our sight
Furthermore I pray that we
Stay focused on our eternity
I came up with this prayer, when I posted a picture of my youngest daughter Sabrina Moore driving and received MOORE Inspiration later on that night and early morning in which I expanded on it here.
My husband let Sabrina Moore drive the other day because she has her permit now. So, he takes this picture of her, sends it to me and says, "pray for me". Now that's a father's faith, right there. Especially coming from a "MOOREman". JK. 
He did that with all our kids, when they started driving. Lol.
Okay, I have a confession. I was praying too, when my kids were driving, 
and I'm still praying for them as they drive through the different stages of life. 
I pray that they don't get lost, don't have an accident, and that they always drive safely. I pray that they always drive with peace of mind and extra guidance from above. I pray they stay focused on their eternal destination in life.
And this is how I got my inspiration for "The Drive Through Life Prayer".
Sincerely me, Carol Louise with the last name of MOORE.
