Healthy Spirit
Not only must we keep a healthy body but we must keep our spirit healthy. To help me do this at family home evening my husband and I made a goal for ourselves. It is inspired by the very goal that President Gordan B. Hinkley gave in the August 2005 issue of the Ensign. He stated "I offer a challenge to members of the Church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) throughout hte world and to our friends everywhere to read or reread the Book of Mormon. If you will read a bit more than one and one-half chapters a day you will be able to finish the book before the end of this year.
"Without reservation I promise you that if each of you will observe this simple program, regardless of how many times you previously may have read the Book of Mormon, there will come into your lives and into your homes an added measure of hte Spirit of the Lord, a strengthened resolution to walk in obedience to His commandments, and a stronger testimony of the living reality of the Son of God."
(Gordon B. Hinkley, "A Testimony Vibrant and True," Ensign, Aug 2005, 2-6)
My husband and I have decided to follow that council once again. Our goal is to start and finish the Book of Mormon as a family by the end of the year. We believe that if we do so we will have the very blessings the prophet promised us. We are also doing it individually which has blessed me very much the last few days. I am excited!!!!!
