Dec 5 - Fasting and Feasting, 2 Nephi 31:20

Today was fast Sunday and also my turn to conduct Sacrament meeting. I never try to prepare what I am going to say in my testimony as I feel it needs to come from the heart. Today I talked a little bit about this blog and how it has brought joy in to my life. This month I am trying to make sure that something I do every day can be found in the teaching of the scriptures. This has made me look at the life of the Savior in different light.

As today was fast Sunday, I am reminded of the importance of having nourishment both to the body and the spirit. We need to feast upon the words of Christ so we may live together as an eternal family. We also must nourish our bodies, to keep them strong and healthy. Below is a picture of the casserole that Wendy made for our family.

2 Nephi 31:20

Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.

  1. I need to feast more on the words of Christ - this is a great scripture - I hope we can all look foreard and strive to do better!

  2. Thank you Scott for reminding us more of the scriptures. I have a Relief Society Lesson next Sunday and most of the scriptures are taken from the last chapter in the Book of Mormon, Moroni 10 and it talks about our spiritual gifts.
