February 2023, Week 2

 *Today at church I pondered the words in the Sacrament hymn ("There is a Green Hill Far Away") because we had talked about it earlier in the week in our Come, Follow Me family discussions.  We were listing hymns that helped us feel the Spirit during the meeting, and one of my children mentioned this one.  I hope they were also able to ponder on the words, remembering "how dearly, dearly has He loved" and to "trust in His redeeming love and try His works to do."

*Today we had excellent talks.  The young man taught about how to handle doubts.  He's one of those youth that I wonder if he is listening or happy to be there at church, but his talk made me repent of that opinion, and he taught me what he knows about faith in Christ.  A sister gave a beautiful talk about trusting in the Lord and in his loving kindness in the midst of trials.  She also reminded us, as Pres. Uchtdorf did, to doubt our doubts and trust our faith.  The closing talk was from a brother that was giving his second talk as a member.  He and his wife and baby are new in our ward, and he was self-admittedly super nervous, but that didn't stop him from giving a well-thought out talk about "Good, Better, Best," and how he's seen examples of choosing the best things in life has blessed his.

*Today I saw a younger brother (about 12) comforting an older brother (about 16).  It was the sweetest thing.

It was a delight!
