February 25th Weekly Connection

It's a Wrap.... What will you do with it now?

Jesus Christ is Lord of the Sabbath and He is our example of honoring the Sabbath              - discussion led by Roberta Sherman

Sundays are a gift to us from our Heavenly Father and blessings come to us from obedience to it.   If we considered our actions and thoughts on Sunday as a sign to our Heavenly Father, would we change what we do?   In John Chapter 5:1-20, Christ told the man at the pool to ‘Rise, take up thy bed, and walk’.   Rise is an action word, and our sign will take action.   The most important sign we can give to our Heavenly Father is taking the sacrament, so that we can have His spirit to be with us.   When we have His Spirit to be with us, it helps us to become more like our brother and Savior Jesus Christ.   But what else should we do on Sundays to set it apart from the other days of our week?  There are only a few things we are counseled about pertaining to our Sabbath day observance.   In January of 1993 we were advised not to go shopping, attend sporting events and to set ourselves apart from the activities of the world.    A good question to ask your Heavenly Father through prayer Sunday morning is… ‘What do I need to do today?”   As we follow the promptings, revelation and direction we receive, our lives will be filled with joy and peace.
