Teach from my Writings

My thoughts this morning come from my study of Preach My Gospel.  Interestingly enough, I have had heavy on my mind our meeting in February for the stake Relief Society sisters.  So far, we don’t have a plan – not from lack of trying though.

The questions posed and studied seemed to match up very well with the first thought I had when I awoke this morning.  They were:  “Had I known then what I know now, I would have removed her from that toxic environment.”  Of course, I was thinking of my sweet daughter who struggles so with just about everything there is to struggle.  It began with her self image and has been a “ride” like non other.  It continues, of course.

I immediately got that thought written on paper.  (Well, my computer.) 

I have been praying fervently to know the Lord’s will for our meeting in February.

How do we conduct meetings?  All three scriptures say as moved by the Spirit of the Holy Ghost. 

What do we write?  We write as God directs, in the very moment and speedily.  We must be faithful to the commandments and do all things in meekness.  Certainly, I have no preconceived self-aggrandizing plan.  I have no choice but to move by the spirit.

The scripture that brought me to attention was Moses 6:6 where Adam is commanded to write the things given by the Lord in verse 5.  Then the next verse is the one Preach my Gospel led me to.  Their children were taught to read and write by the things Father Adam recorded.  If everything I wrote were the material my children were taught from, would they learn the things of God?  Would they learn the proper way to write?  Obviously, I’m not a prophet of the Lord, but I should have my writings be as inspired as possible.
