Live a Consecrated Life

Many members of my ward share the same thoughts and feelings about the meeting. It left us with the desire to create Zion in our homes. It was a powerful and non-forgettable weekend, that continues to carry on in the hearts of the saints.

Yet, I made another observation. I asked an individual, after the weekend, if he enjoyed it and how he felt. The reply was, “Honestly, I didn’t really get much from it. It didn’t do anything for me. It probably had a lot to do with the fact that I was on my phone. I was just kinda bored.” Now those might not have been the exact words, but the take away was…. one person can think a meeting was boring and pointless, while another might think it was powerful and life changing. The decision is ours. It’s all about whether or not we go with our hearts and minds focused, willing and ready to be taught. We must enter meetings and classes with a prayer in our hearts for the spirit to teach us .

Since this weekend, my family has taken on the challenge to build our own Zion temple in our home, brick by brick (line upon line concept). We are currently working on the brick of obedience.
I asked my girls why obedience is the first law of heaven (as Pres. Hinckley has said). They didn’t know. And I realized I didn’t know how to answer either.
