Hello Sisters,
In case your calling had you busy third hour or maybe the
nasty bugs going around had you at home… I have you covered.( at least with what was taught in my ward)
.
Today’s Lesson was taught by Sister A. She started by asking us what we want to focus
on in regards to the Sabbath day, as this is the focus for the next 6 months.
Some ideas included: What do we do after church now? For me
personally it is learning to prepare for the Sabbath day. Does the house have
what it needs in order to not need a trip to the store?
The main question Sister A had us focus on was: How
is the Sacrament affecting your life?
We broke into small groups and looked at the prayers from D
and C. We were asked which part of it
sticks out to us most. For my group it was the willingness to take the
sacrament. Others had the remembrance of Jesus Christ as something that struck
them.
A sister shared that our faith moves us to action. This
really stood out to me. We need to share
and take action if we know the truth and we have to help others.
If you look up the sacrament prayer on an electronic device
it will take you back to John 14:16 with a link. There is a connection of how
we have Him forever with us.
Our church unlike others has the honor of taking Sacrament
each week as opposed to other denominations where they may only take it once a
month. Something I personally love is the fact ALL ages can take sacrament. The
children in the ward do not have to wait until they are older etc. My nearly 3
year old knows to stop playing with his toys and fold his arms and knows the
steps with bread first and water second.
When you are told you can’t take the sacrament for whatever
reason you yearn for it or should have the mentality of this beautiful
gift. One sister shared how even when
they travelled they made sure to always stop in at a church on Sundays.
It is important to teach our sons to say the sacrament
prayer with an earnest sincere heart. You can hear it in their voices.
If you can not come to church to take sacrament you can get
the approval from the bishop and have the proper authority to still get it. So
if you are in the hospital or home due to other reasons etc then you still have
the options to try and get sacrament. ( In Sister H’s case if there is a zombie apocalypse
she will make sure to get bishop approval to still take the Sacrament.) J
