Eric was asked to speak on how the members of the ward can get to know the youth in our ward. This was kind of a tough topic for him to speak on because there's really only so much to be said, and on top of that it's a bit weird for a sacrament meeting topic. But he chatted with his friend who just served as the young men's president in his ward. They decided that the main idea was fellowship. And so that's what Eric spoke about today; the importance of fellowship and specifically fellowshipping the youth.
It was a great talk, and I always love listening to him speak, but it was only about 8 minutes long, and then it was my turn.
My talk was a really enjoyable subject for me to study and speak on. It was something I needed to consider for myself, which are the best kinds of topic assignments. I spoke today on making the sacrament more meaningful to each of us.
I can up with 3 ways to make the sacrament more meaningful to me. 1. Learn all I can about the sacrament ordinance and the meaning of it. 2. Come prepared each week to partake in a holy experience. 3. Be grateful for the opportunity to partake. These seem like such simple concepts, but somehow it's been tough lately to put them into action. Sunday mornings seem rushed and uneasy, and that's something we're really trying to work on in our household.
Does anyone have any suggestions, powerful or simple, for ways to make Sunday mornings more peaceful and inviting of the Spirit? I'd imagine it only gets tougher when a baby comes, so this is something Eric and I really want to master right away.
I am so grateful for Sundays. I'm grateful for my calling at church, and for the day set aside from the others to think of Christ and to be with family. It's just the mornings that are a little shaky sometimes. I want to make Sundays even better than they are now.
