DROP BY DROP.......

DROPS OF  HOLINESS ........

"INSTEAD OF HUGE EFFORTS, I HAVE FOUND IT HELPFUL TO THINK OF MY SABBATH DAY WORSHIP AS FILLING A LAMP........ONE THAT NEEDS OIL TO BURN.  DROPS OF HOLINESS, IF YOU WILL, THAT ACCUMULATES WEEK AFTER WEEK AND YEAR AFTER YEAR.  THINKING ABOUT WHAT I AM GRATEFUL FOR WHILE GETTING READY?........"DROP".......TAKING TIME TO READ OVER THE SACRAMENT PRAYERS BEFORE CHURCH?........"DROP".......SAYING A PRAYER OF GRATITUDE FOR THE SAVIOR AS I TAKE THE SACRAMENT?......"DROP" DROPS OF HOLINESS ARE SMALL SIMPLE THINGS THAT FUEL THE FLAME OF MY FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST."

ISN'T EVERYTHING WE LEARN IN LIFE......DROP BY DROP?  WE START IN FIRST GRADE AND PROGRESS FOR 12 YEARS...... ONE DAY AT A TIME.........LEARNING FROM TEACHERS, FRIENDS, PARENTS AND THE WORLD AROUND US......DROP BY DROP.......AND ARRIVE TODAY TO BE THE PERSON WE ARE........MANY ARE NOT LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.....BUT GOD WILL HELP THEM FIND A WAY TO LEARN ABOUT HIM......DROP BY DROP. 

I AM THANKFUL FOR MY WARD AND LDS NEIGHBORS.
