I found this quote the other day and just wanted to share it. It could have been the captivating picture or the simplicity of happiness but it gave me hope. I pray it does the same for you.

"Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present."

Jim Rohn

This evening I am heading down to Cedar City for the LDS temple open house. As I look forward to the experience this poem continues to run through my head. 

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
 "Come unto Me and rest;
Lay down, thou weary one, lay down
 Thy head upon My breast."
I came to Jesus as I was,
 Weary, and worn, and sad;
I found in Him a resting place,
 And He has made me glad.
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
 "Behold, I freely give
The living water; thirsty one,
 Stoop down and drink, and live."
I came to Jesus , and I drank
 Of that life-giving stream;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
 And now I live in Him.

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
 "I am this dark world's Light;
Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise,
  And all thy day be bright."
I looked to Jesus, and I found
 In Him my Star, my Sun,
And in that Light of life I'll walk,
 Till traveling days are done.
  —John B. Dykes
