*Today at church I appreciated the Sacrament Hymn's message of peace. (Maybe because we just returned from an anniversary trip to Las Vegas at 1 am, and I had been asked to play the organ, but didn't have time to practice.) It was Hymn 178, "O Lord of Hosts," and actually I appreciate any message of peace in these last days. The world won't find it at large for a while--but we can find it in our hearts through Christ.
*Brother Whitaker spoke, and he is a physical therapist. His talk assignment involved Doctrine and Covenants 81:3-5, and he spoke of how, in his work, he literally succors the weak, lifts the hands that hang down, and strengthens the feeble knees. He gets satisfaction in seeing people improve their lives with his help and training. We have so many opportunities to serve and lift people, and to see them improve their lives. Jesus showed us how to lift others (literally, as with the man who lifted his bed and walked, and symbolically, as with the woman with the issue of blood). He performed true miracles, but we can be part of miracles for others, too.
It was a delight!
