My husband recently started journaling…he keeps one journal of day to day happenings, and one for spiritual awakenings, study, pondering, etc. He refers to them as “the small plates” and “the large plates”!

I don’t think anyone ever said write every detail. I write in a journal because of my love for my Heavenly Father and the Savior. It was never for my kids to read. They will probably burn my journals. I figure I will be blessed for my efforts.

I love this ; I’m not good at “journaling” and often feel guilt about that. But don’t see enough to write about for my posterity. This post makes me think a little differently about “journaling,” thank you!
I have a desk calendar, that has pages for each month and also the weeks at a time. I try to write down the important things for each day; sometimes they are only appointments etc. I do TRY to record events that I want to remember. I can look back and see the Hand of God in so many of those events.
I keep a 2nd calendar, week at a glance that I record what scriptures I have read, at my age, I have read them so many times, unless I record what I have read, I can’t remember the next day where I was!!!
I love all of your study snippets – keep inspiring us Sister Black!

I write in my journal regularly. My kids and grandkids don’t journal – they don’t have a record of their life to look back on. They have their phone. I keep a record of – Childhood illnesses – medicine used; important events; sports medals and school awards; church ordinations and callings; family vacations and family reunions; important dates. Most importantly, how I love my family – how I struggle sometimes, mine and my husbands medical history, my joys; my testimony (many times); music and poetry I write; letters and notes my family sometimes send; whatever feels important to remember, especially during trials. I just feel it a duty to write things down – and my journal is full of pictures! I feel like the hymn lyrics – ” Angels above us are silent notes taking of every action then do what is right.” I’m just an angel on earth. I have one special journal, it’s my “spiritual experiences” journal. I hope I can be a strength to my children, grands, and great grands when they need it and I’m in heaven. When I pray about what I can do for my family the answer is often “keep your record.”
