the pulsiphers spoke in sacrament today. they are another family i have loved that are moving after 10 years.
their assignment was on sacred covenants, and they chose to focus in on the covenant that applies to most of us: the sacrament.
lindsey entire talk was on the first part, to always remember Him. we always turn to Him times are hard, but it's so easy to forget Him when times are good. she encouraged us to pick apart our lives and place Christ in the center. (i'll always adore lindsey, she was my visiting teacher and took such great care of me.)
dave followed with emphasis on to keep His commandments. he spoke of bear lake and when lindsey asked the kids to not go into the water unless a parent was present. but they couldn't understand why, and they had their own opinions on why they didn't need their parents. but they had requested their obedience not to make them miserable, but to keep them safe. dave correlated this to keeping the commandments. we insert our own opinions on why we don't need to keep them, but they are in place for a reason, and we are rewarded for our obedience. (sounds cheesy, but i just love divine parallels with parenthood, and i feel so much closer to my HF.)
