Count your Blessings
What blessings do we receive from the Gospel?
*Christ's Atonement- Sacrament
*Priesthood
*Eternal Families
*Baptism-gift of the Holy Ghost
*Knowledge that we are children of God
*Temples
*Scriptures
*Prophet
*Prayer- the Heavens are open
*Purpose
*Opportunities
*Hope
This list can go on and on. I invite you to ponder on the blessings you receive from the gospel.
We are so blessed to have the gospel in our lives, and it is our responsibility to share these blessing with those who are searching for the truth.
A missionaries journal shares the story of one convert named Gertrude Specht. She invited the missionaries in to talk religion and revealed to them that she had 3 PhD's dealing with religion, and was the religion teacher at the near by university. She accepted a Book of Mormon from them and read it. She ended up reading the Doctrine and Covenants, Pearl of Great Price, and many other church writing. At her baptism she expressed her feelings saying to the members "I don't think you understand what you have". Without the gospel she had been in a famine starving for the truth, and not even her PhD's could fill her. There are many others like Gertrude out in the world that are starving for the truth we have because they don't know where to find it. They need us to bear our testimonies unashamed of the truth.
