In January I wanted to bear my testimony but waited to long and did not get the oppertunity to go and share my feeelings. My testimony burned within me and I just had to record it. So I type it when I got home. I have wondered if I should post it and have decided I would. Here below is my testimny that I wanted to share on the 4th January
Today I sat in sacrament meeting and as the meeting progressed my testimony grew within my heart but by the time it was in full bloom the bishop stood up and the opportunity was gone but I want to record my thoughts and feelings here.
I have a testimony of the temple. I KNOW IN MY HEART THAT THE WORK DONE HAS AN EFFECT ON THOSE WHO ARE DEAD.
I have a testimony that I need to be sealed in the temple to be with my husband forever. I am grateful that I could share that with Des yesterday as we drove along in the beautiful Magalies Mountains as we were celebrating our 18th anniversary.
I am grateful I have a testimony of tithing. I am grateful for Des and that he is a good father. On Friday Samantha sat with me and Des to discuss her finances and budget. I was grateful that as we reviewed her budget and Des made suggestions and adjustments when I suggested tithing he added it to the list. I don’t know if she will pay it, but I hope she does because I know that tithing ia a blessing to me and will help her to if she chooses to pay tithing.
I am grateful for family prayer in the form of blessing meals. I have a testimony that as we bless our meals as a family this strengthens our family. While we were on holiday with Des's brother and sister’s families it felt good each day as we gave thanks for the delicious meals that where prepared.
I have testimony of the word of wisdom. I have seen how alcohol, although it seems to make some people more pleasant at times, cause much inner pain to the person drinking and to all those around him or her. The euphoria of the moment is paid for later and the payment is unpleasant. The have fun now pay later idea always costs you more then it is worth. When people overuse alcohol or drugs it always causes pain to the person using the alcohol and those close to them. It also damages bodies. I am grateful that Des has stopped drinking.
In name of Jesus Christ
Amen
