Heaven On Earth

Last night I went to Enrichment for my ward. It was a really good activity and my faith was strengthened. There were 3 speakers that talked about different aspects of the gospel. The first speaker talked about Living by the Spirit. She talked about how doing service for someone else fills us with the Holy Ghost. Another thing she said is we hear Heavenly Father's voice through the scriptures. A couple scripture verses she gave were 2 Nephi 32:5 and Moroni 7:13.

The next speaker was our Bishop's wife. She talked about finding Heaven on Earth. She read Alma 18:30 . She asked why don't we feel Heaven on Earth? The answer she came up with for herself is that #1 We don't create it and #2 We don't take the time to recognize it. She talked about how Heavenly Father has put things on the Earth for us to enjoy. She challenged us to write something down everyday for a week that was a feeling of Heaven on Earth for us.

The third speaker talked about Trials and why we have them. We talked about how sometimes all you can do when you get a trial is to hold on tight and just ride it out. She also talked about how much women need other women because we connect with each other better than men connect with us.

It was just a really good meeting that inspired me to do more service and to keep an eye out for those that might need a helping hand. We are all going through life together. No one should feel that they are doing it alone.
