The Hokey Pokey... not what it's all about!!!

Today in my Family Foundations class my teacher shared the video below with us. And man was the message dead on. This video is really what the gospel is all about - sharing, loving and inviting others to hear the message of Christ. In preparation for class we also read a talk by James E. Faust and I loved it! A part I really enjoyed in President Faust's talk was the line "We must at times search our own souls and discover what we really are." He emphasizes expressing love within society. And not allowing our personal values to erode because of what others think. I really liked this because it reminded me that I can be who I want to be and do the things which I know are right, even when it seems impossible to. Even when the temptations of the world are so prevalent before me and seem so easy to give into, I know who I really am. I know my Heavenly Father is there to back me up. And I know that I am a child of God who loves and is concerned for my well being. It brings gratitude to my heart to remember who I am and how much my Heavenly Father loves me. I can say I know who I am, and I know what I am and what I am becoming. A follower and disciple of Christ. As we loose ourselves loving, serving and inviting others we truly find ourselves and realize what it is out Heavenly Father sees in us. We are following Christs example and doing precisely what the gospel of Jesus Christ is all about.
