BE OF GOOD CHEER!!

HELLO my wonderful family! I just read a talk by Marvin J. Ashton ("Be of Good Cheer") I think its a GREAT lil talk- I've been thinking a lot lately about choosing happiness & being anxiously engaged- I think "being of good cheer" is such a simple, powerful opportunity in our daily lives to find happiness & enjoy life a lil more- just a thought...love you all SO much! here's a little bit from the talk:

"Being of good cheer makes it possible for us to turn all of our sunsets into sunrises.
With good cheer, carrying our cross can be our ladder to happiness. When Jesus comes into our lives, cheer lights the way. How powerful and comforting is the Savior’s declaration, “In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33.)
He promises to stand by us. He invites us to bear record and witness of him. What a joy and honor it is for me to declare in good cheer and without fear that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God, that he was the Only Begotten of the Father, that he is, and that he will yet come again in God’s name. I thank God for the Savior’s life, his cheerful love, and his example. “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear.” (1 Jn. 4:18.)
To all mankind everywhere I cheerfully testify that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is our Redeemer. He will sustain us now and forever if we will walk in his paths, be of good cheer, and not fear."
