Lesson for December 16

Sorry--Laura was going to write up the lesson, but got called away to the hospital because of a family member. If anyone would like to summarize, she would be happy to include it here.

Lesson from December 9

Thanks to Barbara Alldredge for giving the lesson and summarizing it for the blog: Righteous Living in Perilous Times We are living in the winding up stages of the world. These times have been prophesied since almost the beginning of time. The world is in for a serious house cleaning. We get to be the ones to start first with our own house. We get to clean our own homes. We get to be the example, the immovable anchors in the world. We get to be the light in the world that will draw God's other children to Him. Favorite Quotes from lesson: We are all under the obligation of making this world a happier place for our having lived in it. Make YOUR influence felt. (Small imperfect book marks were handed out as a reminder that each of us has a part in the Lords work. Each of us, though small and imperfect have something to give to Make Your Influence Felt) Hey - if there are some that would like a book mark, I have extra and would love to share. I pray that in our hearts and in our homes there may abide that spirit of love, of patience, of kindness, of charity, of helpfulness that enriches our lives and that makes the world brighter and better because of it. Comments: It has been prophesied that the Lord will come with great calamities that have been prophesied, or He can come in peace. It is up to us. We can create that peace - even if it is in our hearts. We can feel His peace, even when the world is falling apart around us. Jessica Lewis: Several years ago during a Sunday School lesson the question was asked - Why has our time in the history of the world been talked about and written about so much more than any other time? After a long pause brother Ted Gibbons said- It's because we know the outcome. We know who wins. Everything has been leading up to this event. We get to pick our team and be part of the great last play of the game. It gives Jessica great comfort to know that she gets to pick her team and be on the Lords side.

Dec. 2 lesson--Of You It Is Required to Forgive

Megan Williams gave the lesson. Linda Campbell told the story about George Albert Smith when he asked for forgiveness of the man who had spread false rumors about hime,because he had been angry against him. The man said he himself should be the one asking for forgiveness. Jessica Lewis said that withholding forgiveness from someone is a serious sin. Thinking about your anger and saying it out loud makes it worse. Sister Byrne said to go quickly to the offended and ask forgiveness so it gets over faster. Give people the benefit of the doubt. Crystelle Boyadjian spoke about how important it it to forgive something that happened years ago. Don't let it get between you and the Lord. Megan asked how we can get into the condition to forgive? Jessica Lewis said that the stronger our faith in Jesus Christ, the stronger our understanding of forgiveness and the more likely we are to forgive. Emily Campbell spoke about being a beggar before the Lord and how realizing that helps us so we can want to repent. Linda Campbell talked about letting things go. The discussion turned toward forgiving people who have done terrible things, but not forgetting so we are put in danger again. But we do have to let God do the forgiving and know they are in God's hands.Heather said that charity is the greatest and if you don't forgive you aren't close to God. Sister Bush said if you have a desire, you are in the process and you want that peace. Dorothy Davis said There are many reasons why the Savior wants us to access the atonement. So we are the ones who are hurt more than they.
