As I woke up this morning, Justin told me the cable and internet was out, and starting going on about how Comcast keeps screwing things up, and how stupid it was. So I looked at him and said "Maybe it's a blessing that the cable is out on Sunday" And he looked at me like I was crazy. "It's a blessing that the cable and internet is out? Whatever." But as I got home from church, I had nothing to do so I was looking through Justin's movies, and came upon a John Bytheway video on the Heroes of the Book of Mormon. I was spiritually enlightened more than I could have been watching mindless TV or on the computer.
Alma's quote about his work not being finished was mentioned in Brother Bytheway's talk, and it has great meaning. Everything has a purpose. Much like the cable being out today, if we look at it as a blessing, we can see that it is. We can see the Lord blessing us with circumstances that can help us grow.
The quote also brings the thought, If I'm not dead, my work is not done. Which helps me realize that as long as I live, I must strive to do the will of the Lord.
We have been born of Nephi of Old, to goodly parents who love the Lord.
We have been taught and we understand that we must do as the Lord commands.
We are as the army of Heleman. We have been taught in our youth.
And we will be the Lord's missionaries to bring the world his truth.
