General Conference Thoughts – Oct 2013
* Pres. Monson
§ Now is the time for members and
missionaries to work together
§ Continue to donate to mission funds
(our stake has needs)
§ Increased kindness
*Study the ideas from
conference in depth over the next six months
* Work on controlling my
temper
* It is possible to
overcome our weaknesses with the Lord's help
* Do we daughters
understand our divine nature and destiny?
* Do we as sons understand
our divine nature and destiny?
*Work together, lift
where we are
* Bednar: A grateful person is rich in
contentment. An ungrateful person suffers in the poverty of endless
discontentment
*Read Doctrine and
Covenants section 119/120 - directions about finances
* How do we teach our
children about the Saviour?
*
Uchtdorf: It’s natural to have questions—the
acorn of honest inquiry has often sprouted and matured into a great oak of
understanding. There are few members of the Church who, at one time or another,
have not wrestled with serious or sensitive questions. One of the purposes of
the Church is to nurture and cultivate the seed of faith—even in the sometimes
sandy soil of doubt and uncertainty. Faith is to hope for things which are not
seen but which are true.
*
Doubt your doubts before
you doubt your faith
*
I want my girls to know
of the love their Saviour has for them
*
We need to read the
scriptures - it needs to be part of our routine
*
Safe place to raise
children - in a gospel centered home
*
Realize the power of the
scriptures in our home
*
Margaret D. Nadauld: The world has enough women who are
tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we
need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who
are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of
faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we
need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity.
*
Share the love of the
Saviour with someone every day
*
Reach out to those I
visit teach
*
With faith, Jesus Christ
heals body, mind and spirit
* Holland: Dozens of times in the scriptures,
the Lord commands someone to “stand still” or “be still”—and wait. Patiently
enduring some things is part of our mortal education.
*
Look for natural
opportunities to share the gospel - pray for them
* It's impossible to fail
when we do our best
* Pray for faith to be
more bold
* Get to know the Come
Follow Me program
* Be spiritually prepared
for future challenges
* Prepare children to make
and keep sacred covenants
*All our strength - that
includes God's strength
Relief Society
Broadcast Thoughts: Visiting Teaching - Am I afraid to bear one anothers
burdens? * Teach my children to be covenant keepers * Come to the temple, claim
your blessings * Heavenly Father doesn't leave us in the ashes * Hymn 270 -
I'll Go Where You Want Me To Go
