What can I say about Sundays?
That they are always good.
That they are always a day to refresh.
That they are a day to be taught.
That they are a time to feel the spirit through music, testimonies and talks....and silence.
The fourth Sunday of each month is our center sacrament meeting. Each one turns out to be the best thing about an already beautiful day.
The month of May has been all about temples...every meeting, every activity. This evening, two of our young women, our high counselor and our stake president spoke, and every single talk was excellent and inspiring and from the heart.
Two of our young women sang a duet, "I Love to See the Temple" and it was awesome. Their voices were like the voices of angels and blended beautifully. I had never heard that arrangement and asked after where they had gotten it. The young woman who had accompanied them had arranged it. Wow! I knew she was talented, but didn't know she could do that.
We had 44 people there....which is wonderful! The classroom where we hold it was full, and I can't imagine what we would do if we had more than 50.
More people are talking to me in Danish. You would think that I will get this sometime wouldn't you?
For those of you who will be celebrating a holiday tomorrow, have a safe and happy Memorial Day.
Yes - Sundays are refreshing. What a wonderful thing to do each month with your young people. I can always tell how much you LOVE them. As for the Danish - it will come - especially with so much help. If Stan talked to you only in Danish - it would come faster.
ReplyDeleteHave to share this with you. My 10 yr. (almost11) old class - was just my 3 regular boys today. We were studying the last of the story of Joseph - as his brothers come to buy corn. One boy says, "It's good he sold it to them - and didn't just give it to them." Another chimes in -"Yea- if he gave it to them - it would be like welfare." Another, "They wouldn't appreciate it if they got it for nothing - and would just keep coming back for more." I gave them the fish story about teaching a man to fish vs giving him a fish. So - we got off track for 3-4 min. - but it was good - and they continue to amaze me with their wisdom and goodness. If only the parents of those who don't come were as wise...L&P
Those ten-year olds sound cute, funny and wise. What a blessing for them to have you.....and what a sweet blessing for you! L&P
