Lesson: Living the Gospel Daily

This Sunday,  Sister Griggs gave the lesson on Living the Gospel Daily.  We talked about "How we can feel close to the Lord in our Daily lives?"  By incorporating these 6 principles into our lives, we invite the spirit into our lives and can draw closer to the Lord...

1- Love- "God's children need to be loved, and to have someone to love.... We have two great challenges, you and I, and the challenge never ends as long as breath lasts: to choose him and to love each other. Then we may be sure we will know him in the world and at last in that kingdom which is not of this world"

2- Prayer-"Sincere prayer is the heart of a happy and productive life. Prayer strengthens faith. Prayer is the preparation for miracles. Prayer opens the door to eternal happiness"

3- Service-" To serve others willingly and unselfishly should be one of our greatest virtues. It is not even a matter of choice. It is an obligation, a sacred command. Therefore, let us serve one another with brotherly love, never tiring of the demands upon us, being patient and persevering and generous"

4- Obedience- "One goal that most of us share in this life is the desire to achieve true joy and lasting happiness. There is only one way to do this, and that is by being obedient to all the commandments of God...'When the Lord commands, do it', was a rule in the life of the first prophet of this dispensation. May that be the motto and practice of each of us"

5- Study -"When we follow the counsel of our leaders to read and study the scriptures, benefits and blessings of many kinds come to us....Where could there be more profitable use of time than reading from the scriptural library the literature that teaches us to know God and understand our relationship to him"

6-Work - "Energetic, purposeful work leads to vigorous health, praiseworthy achievement, a clear conscience, and refreshing sleep. Work has always been a boon  to man. May you have a wholesome respect for labor whether with head, heart, or hand."
