This week, I thought I'd send what I learned yesterday in Sacrament meeting.
It was ward conference, and the Stake President talked about the role of the Savior. He told a story about how he was on a beach that had these beautiful angel wing-shaped shells. He held them up for us to see, and they really were beautiful! He said they looked for the perfect ones, and picked them up until their hands were full. He then had a thought come to his mind of "what would the Savior be looking for if he were there on the beach?" and the answer came that the savior would be looking for the broken ones and then would use his power to heal them. I think a lot of times I do the same thing - I look for the perfect opportunities, friendships, etc, instead of looking for the opportunities to heal and help and improve.
Also, today I was studying the Gospel of Christ, and I came across some cool thoughts. 1 - Christ came to set the example. We can know it's HIS church when they do what he did.
2 - Christ came to save the sinners, and his Atonement covers those who don't ever get the chance to hear, and that's what grace really is, not just being "saved" by saying so..
3 - faith without works is dead. (James 2. It's a great chapter.) Christ came, but we have to believe and act on that, or nothing happens.
Anyway, that's all for this week :)
Love you all!
