Variations On A Theme

What a great week.We had the wonderful opportunity to go as a mission to the Seattle Temple, and it was fantastic. I most certainly love the temple, and the peace and many blessings that are promised in abundance there. Then, to add impulse to instancy, we finished the week off with a effulgent "bang!" by listening to our beloved prophets and apostles. Here are a few themes noticed throughout conference:
-Don't let small things take priority over the Gospel in your life and block it off
-Listen to the prophets, for the speak the words God wants us to hear in these days.
-The Book of Mormon is awesome and important. Read it and you will be guided.
-The Restoration brought so much light into the world and can bring it into our lives. Use what we have been given! It is such a great gift
-Serve those around you!
- Go to the temple
Those are some things I noticed.
I definitely know that these things are important and true. I hope I can incorporate them into my life better.
Those who listen to the Lord's servants are blessed if they act on what they hear. Otherwise, if we rebel against the prophets, all we can do is "cut the thread that [binds us] to the Prophet and to God and sink [our]selves to hell." (Brigham Young).
(That part was awesome, by the way)
If we choose not to act, then we just miss out on blessings and progression that we otherwise could have experienced. God is a loving God. He loves us, and wants us to live with him again some day. I know that to be true. Have a wonderful week.
