ALL THINGS
QUESTION - What is the most basic,
common and essential denominator for finding resolution to ANY mortal problem,
dilemma, complication, dispute, doubt, debt, obstacle, pain, trouble, quandary,
worry, predicament, impasse, broken relationship, difficulty, tragedy and
ten-thousand other descriptives for mortal trepidations?
ANSWER - Squaring ourselves
spiritually with the Savior through the correct application of the atonement.
Everything else is secondary - not unimportant, but secondary. Once we have
adequately aligned ourselves spiritually and established our commitment, the
heavenly principle of "all things" will begin to manifest in our lives -

ALL THINGS - Cecil
F. Alexander, pub.1848
Each little
flow’r that opens, Each little bird that sings,
He made
their glowing colors, He made their tiny wings.
All things
bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful: The Lord God made them
all.
The
purple-headed mountains, The river running by,
The sunset
and the morning That brightens up the sky.
All things
bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful: The Lord God made them
all.
The cold
wind in the winter, The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe
fruits in the garden, He made them every one.
All things
bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful: The Lord God made them
all.
The tall
trees in the greenwood, The meadows where we play,
The rushes
by the water, To gather every day.
All things
bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful: The Lord God made them
all.
He gave us
eyes to see them, And lips that we might tell
How great
is God Almighty, Who has made all things well.
All things
bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful: The Lord God made them
all.
