I suppose the message you're getting to is that our examples can help heal others. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing!Michaela Stephenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04163084369311708249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6478273273186623663.post-5467690078840985282014-09-20T07:29:21.219-07:002014-09-20T07:29:21.219-07:00Just reading through this, I know it has been a lo...Just reading through this, I know it has been a long time! Thought I'd share a piece of information. <br />Salt adds great taste to any meal! But that is not all it should do.. Natural salt or unprocessed salt contains minerals. Minerals are what we need to survive and make our bodies healthy! Salt provides things like selenium, copper, & chromium to name few. All these things heal the body! So while we are being told to be the flavor or the earth, we are also being told to heal the earth! <br />The two phrases have more in common than what is originally thought.<br /> <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6478273273186623663.post-56178377346079960612011-03-23T13:51:43.845-07:002011-03-23T13:51:43.845-07:00RGG, thanks so much for sharing that selection fro...RGG, thanks so much for sharing that selection from Sister Beck's talk.

I have been reading this talk for a year and it reminds me of the best meal I've ever eaten and I don't mind the leftovers <br /><br />Sister Beck begins her talk with these words <br />QUOTE:"I feel a great urgency for the daughters of God to do all they need to do to strengthen and lift not only themselves, their families, sisters who are in their wards, but also the world. I feel that the sisters in this Church who know and understand their covenants will be a significant force in helping this world, which seems to have lost its moral moorings.<br />If the sisters who have made covenants with God know what they are supposed to do, that they are in for the long haul, and that they are in with all their faith, then this world will be okay and we will be all right. The theme of the conference is, “Say unto this people: Choose ye this day, to serve the Lord God who made you. Behold my Spirit is upon you, wherefore all thy words will I justify; and the mountains shall flee before you, and the rivers shall turn from their course; and thou shall abide in me, and I in you; therefore walk with me.”1 What a beautiful theme." END QUOTE<br /><br />From that point,the message is quite intense and the only way to really enjoy it to come back and break it down into its most component parts and read it part by part. Each word, every sentence is over flowing with love, advice, nurturing,and concern.<br /><br />I have had my eyes "opened" to the blessings of the Temple. I have learned how to be a better wife. I have learned to feast on the words in the Book of Mormon.<br />Thanks for this postRamona Gordyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03897052109437761869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6478273273186623663.post-15981337225187612502011-03-22T08:59:35.111-07:002011-03-22T08:59:35.111-07:00Great thought.
