Dear Sisters,
This Sunday we are meeting as a combined Relief Society/Priesthood group in the Relief Society room for the third hour. There we will be instructed by Brother Thorsen regarding the program "Just Serve." Since we will not be having our usual discussion from the Lorenzo Snow manual, we strongly encourage you to study this lesson on your own, as the next discussion led by Sister Bateman will build on this lesson.
Lesson #5 is a glorious discourse about the blessings our Father in Heaven has in store for those who are obedient and remain faithful to their covenants. I felt that the brethren stressed obedience frequently in this past General Conference. That is because obedience is the key to receiving blessings and guidance from our Father as we travel through mortality. I can still remember the first time I heard Lorenzo Snow's inspired couplet, "As man now is, God once was: As God now is, man may be." It was like a light went on in my brain as I considered what that meant. What does it mean to you? How does it affect the choices you make every day?
Truly, to comprehend the truth contained therein is a transforming experience! I am so grateful for the truths contained in the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn obedience. Please take time to read and study this lesson, as President Snow said, "What can we wish for more than is comprehended in our religion?"
Love you, and see you on Sunday,
Sister Stoddard
