After coming home from Church today, I decided to let my mind take a break. I didn't want to think much because it's what I do every single day. So instead I watched 3 of the Harry Potter movies. That series just makes me feel all warm inside. Not much to report for today in the mental department except for the fact that my mind was feeling good!
Spiritual:
Today my mom and I discussed the prophets of the Old Testament. My mother is not Mormon, but she is one of the most well-versed Christians I know. We used to fight when we had spiritual conversations, but now we've agreed to discuss where we agree and to help each other grow in those areas. We both have a deep love for the Bible and so to share that with her is extra special to me. We talked about Abraham today and his obedience.
We must be courageously obedient - James E. Faust
What I love about President Faust saying that is the fact that he recognizes the difficulty in being obedient. We are sinners and therefore, sinning will come easy to us. To overcome our mortal selves is going to be a challenge and it will be obedience that will help us. It take courage to do what is right and I believe most of us, if not all of us, experience that on a daily basis. Abraham is a wonderful example of obedience because he did not hesitate to do what was asked of him. I often wonder how my days would turn out if I was completely obedient. I don't struggle with extreme sins, but hey, we've all got our vices and none of us are perfect. Obedience is something we all are going to have to develop the courage to do in this life.
Physical:
One of the things I love best about Sundays is that it is a day of rest. Let me tell you, no body loves rest like my body does!
