Lehi is apologizing to Nephi for the burdens caused by his brothers. The chapter could be interpreted to mean that God doesn't want us to go through bad things, but allows for them because of free agency. But because he allows for the bad, he will consecrate a blessing for us if we remain faithful.Michelle Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11082594255798858208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323004210322088980.post-50171330384466598392012-10-16T20:14:35.479-07:002012-10-16T20:14:35.479-07:00I liked the packing analogy too.

It is my view that VT really is the most important calling that we have as sisters in the gospel. I am serving as a Inner City Missionary right now and there are far too many sisters who need to feel our love and concern for them. <br />I will be following your blog. <br />Living Waters by LeAnn<br />http://lgwilliams.blogspot.comMichelle Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11082594255798858208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323004210322088980.post-28915199720172589632011-06-06T22:29:19.274-07:002011-06-06T22:29:19.274-07:00Very good reminder!

For me since my memory retention is so pathetic, I always feel behind, and I feel like I'm reading or learning something for the first time even though I've read/learned it before. Perhaps I'm just noticing something new and different about my blade of grass, but it sure feels like it's new! ;)emily :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09469230096961641413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323004210322088980.post-64658975274897565512011-04-27T21:24:56.117-07:002011-04-27T21:24:56.117-07:00I enjoyed reading your thoughts on Alma.

I think I suffer from distraction vision. ...So.... I think I suffer from distraction vision. When I refelct upon my station, spacially speaking, and my proximity to Heavenly Father I cannot help but notice the chasm between us that puts the Grand Canyon to shame. It's this very topic that I was pondering when I read something King Benjamin said "I say unto you..that if you should render all the thanks and praise which your whole soul has power to possess, to that God who has created you, and has kept and preserved you, and has caused that ye should rejoice, and has granted that ye should live in peace with one another - I say unto you that if ye should serve him who has created you from the begining, and is preserving you day to day, by lending you breath, that ye may live and move and do according to your own will, and even supporting you from one moment to another - I say, if ye should serve him with ALL YOUR WHOLE SOULS, yet you would be UNPROFITABLE SERVANTS" Mosiah 2:20 21 I read this and think... "Hmm.... that's a little disconcerting. Even if I worked that hard, that "perfectly", everyday to serve him, I would still be found lacking" Then I read v. 22... "..all that he reqires of you is to keep his commandments" I think I can do that. I can't live them all to perfection, but some of them I can, and the rest I can work on. <br /><br />That's all we have to do, work at it. I want to make sure my tent is facing the Temple, and that I can hear the gospel, and that my children can hear the gospel. Then I act on the promises I made, and teach my children to do the same. All else is secondary..... ALL ELSE.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16466101586965086445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323004210322088980.post-31586560641259719942009-08-19T22:34:38.899-07:002009-08-19T22:34:38.899-07:00Kristine- I hope it will help.
