So this week due to the Christmas season, my thoughts have been a little bit more directed on family and home, but more about who I was when I was at home.
Lately we had an investigator ask a lot about the Sabbath Day and I have been thinking a lot about how we can keep the Sabbath Day Holy. I feel that I have kept the Sabbath day and that I have had experiences where I felt that have sanctified it, but it has been hard to understand or describe to people.
One day in my personal studies I read in True to the Faith about the sabbath day. Many times I think we take the term day of rest a little to lightly and forget that the whole term is a day of rest from OUR labors.
A quote that stuck out to me in my mind as I read the definition in true to the faith it says:
The time we have on this earth is limited and I know that not only is it a time to prepare to meet God, but a time to prepare to be like God. The time that we have here should be planned out. We should plan to spend time with famalies, friends and loved ones. Plan even on the sabbath day to do activities to strengthen one another and help us to remember Christ more in our lives. I know that this gospel is real and has an eternal effect on us, but it is our responsibility to decide how much of an effect it has.
I love all of you so much this Christmas season. May your days be bright!
Eu te amo,
Elder Cooper
