Today is a fifth Sunday so we had a combined priesthood/relief society meeting. The Bishopric all spoke and they carried on with the theme of Sacrament meeting. It was all about paying attention to the basics. Personal prayer, family prayer, scripture study. It was really good. I enjoyed all the talks and the analogies they made from the scriptures to our lives.
It's good to have a reminder about the importance of remembering the little things and paying attention them.
Justin talked about Ammon and the scattering of the sheep. He said we were like Ammon and the sheep were all the things we were trying to do right. Daily scripture study, personal prayer, etc. Then along comes the Lamanitish servants and scatter the sheep. Our LS are things like: illness, a new baby, a big project, going on a vacation, or any other thing that disrupts our routine. When that happens, not if because it's sure to happen, how we deal with it is so important. Do we weep, wail and give up hope or do we try and gather our sheep up again and renew our commitment to do good?
It was a good meeting.
Mom and Dad came over for dinner after. We ate and then went for a walk. The weather is lovely today.
I love Sundays.
