C...I started my lesson with this quote from Gene R. Cook:<br /><br />President Spencer W. Kimball was once asked, “What do you do when you find yourself in a boring sacrament meeting?” His response: “I don’t know. I’ve never been in one.” What he was really teaching, brothers and sisters, is about another meeting. If you’re just in this meeting with me—this one we physically see—you’re not in the meeting yet. The real meeting is the meeting between you and the Lord. And if you want to really get in the meeting and have the Lord work upon your heart, that will be up to you.<br /><br />"...Every meeting in this church is convened in the name of Jesus Christ. We believe in the personal worship of God in every meeting. Yes, there are things happening up front when I or anyone else is teaching, but again, they’re very secondary in comparison to who the teacher really is, to whose meeting it is, and in whose name the meeting is convened. Is it not logical, then, to understand very quickly that He will teach us? He will, and He can enlighten your understandings and quicken the light within you until you can see and forsee some things that you would not otherwise see and understand.”<br /><br />We never actually talked about attributes they see in themselves or family, but after sharing that quote, I suggested that maybe in their "meeting" with the Lord during the lesson they might consider discussing those attributes and ways they could help their children see them. I wanted to ask at the end if anyone had anything they wanted to share from their "meeting," but we ran out of time.<br /><br />We did discuss times when someone has pointed out an attribute to us and what effect that had on us.Marnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17444735204136349983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5400650783378451880.post-38443146445699908572013-02-23T15:00:20.489-07:002013-02-23T15:00:20.489-07:00I'm teaching RS based on this talk tomorrow an...I'm teaching RS based on this talk tomorrow and appreciate your insight! I was going to have the sisters share some attributes they see in their family members and then share about theirs, maybe I'll break them up in groups to do it since you are right, it is most difficult to see it in ourselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
