28 Father, I thank thee that thou hast purified those whom I have chosen, because of their faith, and I pray for them, and also for them who shall believe on their words, that they may be purified in me, through faith on their words, even as they are purified in me.
29 Father, I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me out of the world, because of their faith, that they may be purified in me, that I may be in them as thou, Father, art in me, that we may be one, that I may be glorified in them.
30 And when Jesus had spoken these words he came again unto his disciples; and behold they did pray steadfastly, without ceasing, unto him; and he did smile upon them again; and behold they were white, even as Jesus.
This is interesting, I don't think there is another verse, not one that I have read, that said that Jesus smiled. That is such a nice image to think about.
D&C 50
34 He that receiveth of God, let him account it of God; and let him rejoice that he is accounted of God worthy to receive.
What does this mean? Just to let people know that you believe, like bearing your testimony? Praying in thanks? Something else? All of the above?
40 Behold, ye are little children and ye cannot bear all things now; ye must grow in grace and in the knowledge of the truth.
41 Fear not, little children, for you are mine, and I have overcome the world, and you are of them that my Father hath given me;
42 And none of them that my Father hath given me shall be lost.
I like this because it makes me feel like I am being taken care of. Being a mom it doesn't feel like I am taken care of very often because I am the one doing the caring.

account it of God... that's what you've been doing in saying that it's because you do this blog that you get those inspirations and good things in your life. I think it's also like if I just barely miss getting into an accident and I know it isn't my good driving, and I immediately say a thank you prayer.
I know that I have benefitted from these postings. They make me feel better. It's very much like part of our reason for following inspiration is for ourselves and the rest is to help others.
I'm just excited that this can benefit others as well. It's been really good and actually fun for me, and part of why is because you and Chris comment and I get to see your ideas. It'd be a little harder to keep it up without that.
Your definition of accounting it to God really clears things up. I do that all the time. I love when the hand of God in your life is obvious like that.
