Lesson for February 25, 2018

Today our lesson about “Remember Him“ was given by Lana Horrocks. She always prays that the Lord will speak to our hearts. She especially wanted to talk about the sacrament. President Eyring asked if we could imagine Moroni and his last years and inspiration as he remembered the greatness of God and his patience with us. She asked Paige Gibson to play a piece to help us think of Christ as she plays “Our Savior’s Love.” Lana asked us to think of a favorite picture of Christ, a favorite story of Christ, a time we felt loved by Christ, what we need to do better, and the progress we are making in our relationship with Christ. She handed out paper and pens so we could write these things down. We need to remember the Savior and the price he paid. Heather Cantrell showed pictures she has of Christ, including one by her son. Haruko showed us a picture with Christ smiling. Other sisters showed or told about Christ that had meaning for them. Then sisters told stories that mean a lot to them. More than one sister told about the woman with the issue of blood and how the Savior reacted to the woman by accepting her. Heather said she felt like each of her children was sent to her by the Lord. More than one sister told of how they felt close to the Savior when they gave birth to their children. Another sister told of how the Savior stood by her during her divorce, which brought other stories of finding peace. Each of us has to come to a knowledge that God wants us to grow, not suffer. The Savior gave us the ordinance of repentance and the sacrament to make up for our sins and turn it over to the Lord. He can help us not blow up and take care of other problems in our lives. We often need extra help. Remember the progress you are making and you will have hope. Lisa Anderson said she keeps a journal to keep track of Improvement. There is joy in not giving up and learning more. Lana said she is strengthened by hearing what we have gone through. She has a good relationship with Christ now after struggling. He is so important to all of us.
