Today was a really great Sunday. I usually enjoy Sundays, but today we all had a very uplifting day. We had touching and inspired lessons in Relief Society and Elders Quorum. Jana, my good friend and Relief Society Pres. gave a lesson about gratitude and how the right attitude and focus on our blessings can change our lives. I truly felt the spirit during the lesson. Thank you, Jana.
Matt's lesson was about the simpleness of the way to live with our Father in Heaven again. We had a good talk about what we learned and then we had a guest to dinner. There was a younger gentleman in our ward visiting whom we invited over and we were able to discuss how gospel principles have given our lives purpose and direction in the latter days, especially since we are all Active Duty Army. I really appreciated the time we were able to visit with this brother, Spencer Taylor from Ft. Huachuca (I probably spelled that wrong!).
He shared with us some great experiences he has had and what helped him survive his time away during deployments. I think Matt and I both benefited from having an LDS perspective on deployment. He introduced us to a great web site with free downloadable LDS music called liahona.net. I encourage all of my readers to check it out. It is truly a gift from God to have this uplifting and wholesome music at our fingertips.
We are very blessed.
