The subject of my RS lesson today was Ether 12- Hope for a better world which comes from faith in God and is the motivation for abounding in Good works. I learned a lot from preparing this lesson. Especially about HOPE! I've often wondered what am I supposed to be hoping for. Duh. It was so obvious I'm surprised that I didn't see it before. Hope for a place in the mansions prepared for us on the right hand of God.
I learned that we can have hope and be partakers of the gifts that God has to offer us. I asked myself - what am I hoping for? Can this blessing be obtained? Is it a righteous desire? What is required of me to obtain this gift? Good works and FAITH. Only after the trial of our faith will we see the gift.
I know all this stuff, but it's nice to be reminded and have it sink deeper in it's meaning as we go through life and wonder again - now why was I doing all this for? Oh yeah - the hope for a better world!
My little boy is in nursery. My little girl is in Primary and my big girl is getting baptized this year. I'm looking forward to a New 2010 and a renewal of our Hope, Faith and Charity!
