What Will You Reap?

“I hope I was able to contribute something-so the children and the grandchildren-that they can be the survivors and never the victims.  And that I’d like to be remembered as someone who did everything in their power to see to it that we can enhance each other with our differences.  That we can hold hand in hand and form a human family so we can survive on this planet.  

Auschwitz is my cherished wound.” 

 ----Dr. Edith Eva Eger, "Seeds of Resiliency", directed and produced by Susan Polis Schutz, Iron Zeal Films.  Aired KBYU 1/26/2014.  (Iron Zeal)


A couple of weeks ago I watched "Seeds of Resiliency", it aired on KBYU in January.  It was soooooooo good.  It is about different people who have survived tragedy in their life and how they have not only overcome it, but have gone on to succeed and flourish.  These various individuals in this documentary were in some very horrible situations, and yet they chose to use their experiences for positive. 

It makes you wonder why some people choose to survive and some people choose to lash-out, torment and use their experiences negatively. 

I guess we all have our choices and we have to live with the consequences.

D&C 6:33
Fear not to do good, my sons, for whatsoever ye sow, that shall ye also reap; therefore, if ye sow good ye shall also reap good for your reward.

Luke 6:45 
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

Helaman 14:31 
He hath given unto you that ye might know good from evil, and he hath given unto you that ye might choose life or death; and ye can do good and be restored unto that which is good, or have that which is good restored unto you; or ye can do evil, and have that which is evil restored unto you.
