Lesson for Sunday Feb 8, 2015

Your decisions determine your destiny.  

We are so blessed to have Susie Rasmussen as a teacher in our Relief Society.  She will be leading us in a discussion about this topic from the Ezra Taft Benson manual.

Please read chapter #3 "Freedom of Choice, an Eternal Principle" HERE to be more prepared to add your personal insights in our discussion so we all can learn and benefit from each other.

IN CASE YOU MISSED SUNDAY'S (2/1) LESSON....

Judy gave a wonderful lesson on the Courage of Women.  She told us a few stories of people who had challenges and had courage to face them and get through them.

We can learn from the story of Queen Esther:
     ~ Fasting with faith and a purpose, along with prayer, blesses us and others for whom we are calling upon the Lord.
     ~ We all have important missions to fulfill in mortality.  Being righteous, obedient, and courageous ensures that the Lord will help us to be successful.
                         WHAT CAN I DO?
                                 ~ Consider how faith-filled and purposeful my own fasting is.  Can I exercise more faith when I fast?


We can learn from the story of Ruth and Naomi:
     ~Treating others with love and kindness helps them see the gospel of Jesus Christ at work in our lives and can help them again a testimony.
     ~As we are faithful and patient, losses we experience will be made up by the Lord according to His timing.
                           WHAT CAN I DO?
                                     ~ Ponder ways I can strengthen my faith in the Lord's ability, according to His timing, to make up any losses I experience in this life.


We can learn from the story of the Shunammite Woman:
     ~Unselfish service brings great blessings into our lives.
     ~ When we have a testimony of the divine calling of prophets, we obey their counsel faithfully and experience the blessings of so doing.
                            WHAT CAN I DO?
                                     ~ Reflect on the blessings I have seen in my life as a result of my own service.  Are there ways I can better serve my friends and or those I do not know?
                                     ~ Evaluate the strength of my testimony of the divine calling of prophets and how quick I am to obey their counsel.
