Sacrament Meeting Talk – April 22, 2007

** Food Storage **

Good Afternoon sisters & Brothers, My prayer is that the spirit will speak here today.

Let us begin with D&C 59: 16 – 20

“16 Verily I say, that inasmuch as ye do this, (”this” being repenting, fasting & praying – taken from the scriptures above)the fulness of the earth is yours, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and that which climbeth upon the trees and walketh upon the earth;17 Yea, and the herb, and the good things which come of the earth, whether for food or for raiment, or for houses, or for barns, or for orchards, or for gardens, or for vineyards;18 Yea, all things which come of the earth, in the season thereof, ( I had a sister tell me once that with the grocery stores around everything was in season year around) are made for the benefit and the use of man, both to please the eye and to gladden the heart;19 Yea, for food and the raiment, for taste and for smell, to strengthen the body and to enliven the soul.20 And it pleaseth God that he hath given all these things unto man; for unto this end were they made to be used, with judgment, not to excess, neither by extortion.” (Read the article)

If we are to live our lives vicariously through you, our kids, then we ought have a say in what you do with your lives!

In order to do this we need to know how you think, what you think, why you think, how you feel, what you feel, what are your motivations, where are you coming from? (Why are you here?  Where are you going?)…or at the very least WHAT you are doing with your life.

Indeed we may say that we follow the admonition of Connie, we need info, we desire info, we crave info, we wa(/)nt-would like info, if there is any info, that is virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy we  seek after it.

Thank you very much!!!

Love, daddie dearest
