Sunday

  I love Sundays, my spirit gets full and it carries me on through the week. I take notes during the talks because in the past I wished that could remember what was exactly said. So today as I was sitting during sacrament I had these feelings.
Do we really think about the words of the sacrament prayers? I have learned because of the participation in the recovery group that we need to make them very personal. In step 7 the principle is humilty and the step reads Humbly ask Heavenly Father to remove your shortcomings.

When listening to the sacrament prayer I think to myself "O God, the Eternal Father: (I) ask thee in the name of the Son, Jesus Christ, to bless and sanctify this bread to (my soul as I) partake of it...and keep the commandments which he hath given (me) that (I) may always have his spirit to be with (me).


Do I take the sacrament for the right reasons? Do I take it to renew my covenants so that I can become more like him.

So sacrament meeting was wonderful.. I need to be reminded to Keep the Sabbath Holy...
Genesis 2:32

The second speaker shared
   Last Sunday driving home from church she made the comment that it was a pretty day, her daughter that was in the back seat asked that if they could go to play ground and she said no we don't do that on Sundays. Then the daughter said that can we go to the mall, the mom said no, Pretty soon she heard the daughter said"Boy Sundays sure are boring"
 The speaker went on to say I wished that I had told her all the things we can do on Sundays.
I am guilty of that thinking all the things I can't do instead of all the things I can!! I love Sundays my spirit needs this:)
