Yesterday Julie spoke in church about the blessings of the Sabbath Day. She shared an experience she had a month or so ago. They were driving home from Delta and out the window of the car, there was the Payson Temple. She looked over to the right and saw it was lit and felt such peace. Then she happened to look left and a car was beside them with a license plate that said, "S8TAN" and as she realized what it meant she felt a bit of the world and the darkness surround her. Then she looked right again and saw the temple and thought of the Savior and felt peace. It is so easy, she said, for our minds to turn to the world...to the evil and frustrations and worries around us. There is darkness all around. BUT if we can turn our eyes and our minds to the right...Christ is there. He can and will help us. He will bring light into our lives. She also said that some Sundays are beautiful and peaceful and everything goes smoothly. But with four young children, some Sundays are chaotic and exhausting and challenging. But what is the same...always...is that Christ is there if you focus on Him and look for Him. Always He is there.
LESSONS LEARNED: Christ is always there if we look for/to Him.
Look to the right not the left...face Christ, not the world.
When the world begins to drag you down, focus again on Christ.
