Patterns Of Discipleship
Elder Joseph W. Sitati
Emeritus Member of the Seventy
Learning about Christ and His ways leads us to know and to love Him.
He showed by example that with an attitude of humility it is indeed possible to know and to love God the Father with all our being and to love others as we love ourselves, holding back nothing. His ministry on earth, during which He put both His will and His body on the altar, was a pattern for the application of these principles on which His gospel is founded. Both principles are outward looking and are about how we relate to others, not about seeking personal gratification or glory.
Lasting Discipleship
President Steven J. Lund
Young Men General President
This band of brothers and sisters has now gone home to determine what it means to still "trust in the Lord" (Proverbs 3:5; 2022 youth theme) when swept up in the cacophony of a rambunctious world. It is one thing to "hear Him" (JS-H 1:17) in a quiet place of contemplation with scriptures wide open. But it is quite another thing to carry our discipleship into this mortal flurry of distractions, where we must strive to "hear Him" even through the blur of self-concern and faltering confidence. Let there be no doubt: it is the very stuff of heroes displayed by our youth when they set their hearts and minds to standing upright against the shifting moral tectonics of our time.
4:51 - Happy Saturday!
I had planned on going to the Relief Society luncheon activity this morning with Kathy Crane. I figured I could study/walk until about 9:45 before I had to start getting ready to go. My intentions were good, but the more I studied the more tired I became. I took a greak and set the timer for 20 minutes so I could take a catnap on my recliner. At the end of the 20 minutes I was still tired and decided I needed a diet Dr. Pepper. I texted Kathy and told her I would take my own car to the meeting but wanted to sit by her during the luncheon. She was having stomach problems and wasn't sure she was going to go. That's when I decided I was going to drop off my rolls, go to Dollar General to get a diet Dr. Pepper, come home and take another nap, which I did. James came with me and we listened to our book, "Only the Brave" in the car.
When I took my rolls in I passed the "share" table and saw a stack of notebooks. I made a mental note to pick a couple up on my way out. As I walked passed the door to the cultural hall on my way to the kitchen, Cheryl Sedig came walking towards me and said: "Oh, Karen is here, we can start now." I stopped to talk to her and said I wasn't staying and she seemed genuinely disappointed. I dropped off my basket of 23 rolls (I ate one) and said hello to Lynda Finnell and Amy Reynolds. Lynda is in charge of the activity and Amy is on her committee. I stopped and took a picture of the tables set up in the cultural hall. The theme is "A Winter Wonderland."
see how I was doing afterwards. She asked me if I saw how beautifully the cultural hall was set up and I said yes.
As I left the building I picked up a couple of notebooks, one for James and one for me. There were five men sitting in the foyer and I made this comment: "Well, it looks like the priesthood has this activity covered." They all laughed, Willie Grombach, Rick Lauritzen, Brother Hipps, Brother Gilbert, and Cope Reynolds. Brother Hipps asked how James's knee was doing and I told him it was fine. I said he had some cancer removed and they found some more cancer. I think he understands because he has dealt with cancer.
I had a little more energy this afternoon and manage to get over 14,000 steps. James put in another light in the kitchen and it makes so much difference! Next is a light over my desk in the bedroom.
This evening I watched "The Wedding Veil Journey" the third installment of the second go around of the Wedding Veil trilogy. This one stars Allison Sweeney and Victor Webster. They go to Greece for their honeymoon. I liked it and enjoyed the scenery as well as the story.
