Sacrament Meeting 7-31-11

Brandon Hudgins - Honesty
(exodus 20:15-17) (Alma 27:27) Be honest with yourself others, and God. When you are honest, you are blessed with peace. Do not lie, steal or cheat. KEep the commandments, and your coventants with God that you made at baptism. Teach AND live the principles of honesty.

Ken Lovell - Hope
Why must you go through things you didn't want to go through? What's the right attitude? Life is difficult, but so is hanging around people who are pessimistic. Who should I be? why DID you get up this morning? Have charity, faith and hope. We always seem to forget about hope. Learn from your experiences. Count your blessings. (Moroni 7:4) Hope is the opposite of depression, or whatever makes us feel bad about ourselves. What are we looking for? (Moroni 7:41) we hope for christ. He makes up for ALL the differences. WE should be grateful that life is not fair, cause otherwise, there'd be no Christ. Are we expecting things resonable from the people around us? (D&C 122) It's all for your own good. Fear not what man can do. God will be with thee forever and ever. Let him help you. We are all imperfect. We are all different. We are ALL a CHILD of GOD! (Primary song, 'I am a child of God' http://lds.org/churchmusic/detailmusicPlayer/index.html?searchlanguage=1&searchcollection=2&searchseqstart=2&searchsubseqstart= &searchseqend=2&searchsubseqend=ZZZv ) Allow the spirit to guide you. Feast upon the words of Christ. Press forward...keep going! God will NEVER break his promise. He never has, and never will.

Sis. Chandler - Charity
(Moroni 7:44-48) thinketh no eveil. Endureth all things. Charity never faileth. Charity is the pure love of Christ. Be mindful of others. How do we act to others who might look or act different from us? Family needs time to spend with each other. Love and serve one another / everyone. Charity begins at home. How do we build our love in friendship? Think of the best for each other. Doubt the bad. WWJD = What would Jesus Do? How should I love thee? As Jesus Does.
