Sunday Snippett - 9th Nov

Some of theYW joined us this week as they normally do once a month, which is always nice to share a lesson together. Sis Ellen had us listen to a piece of music by an orchestra; it sounded really good. When you learn to play an instrument it takes a lot of practice to create a good sound & even more time & sacrifices are required to try for perfection. Now, when you put an orchestra together, think of the practice that is required to bring such harmonies together & sound so magnificent. Our unity is similar, we must each discover the music and our love creates the harmony. If we are dedicated in having the right attitude, focusing on the Savior & are willing to put in the hard work we will be able to 'stand fast through the storms of life'. We can choose to be thankful or we can say 'woe is me'. It is better to transform our trials or afflictions & soldier on. Our dear Prophet, Joseph Smith was a great example of showing how to go forward with courage as he still carried out his responsibilities to the Lord, after being beaten, scratched, tarred & feathered by an angry mob. No one said life was easy & the Lords way is not always easy as trials put us to the test. #30 'Come, come ye saints, no toil nor labor fear, but with joy, wend your way. Though hard to you this journey may appear, grace shall be as your day. Tis better far for us to strive, our useless cares from us to drive, do this and joy your hearts will swell, all is well, all is well.' We can choose to make our lives miserable or we can make good, ask yourself which are you doing now??????
