Relief Society Christmas Program

We had a special thing today. The men subbed for the women so they could all attend Relief Society. There were two speakers. The first one showed a video. It said, "The star still shines." 

Thinking about this past conference and all the references to light, this little sentence has plucked a chord in my heart. It gave me a new way to think about things that I have flirted with in the past.

The idea that we are so distracted with technology that we aren't quiet enough to hear the Spirit.

We are so fascinated with artificial light that we no longer look for the Source of Light. We no longer rely on the stars for navigation, direction, seasons or weather. We have divorced ourselves from nature and fail to hear the God of Nature calling to us. We are so obsessed with the creations of man that we fail to appreciate the works of the Creator and thus tune out the voice of Thunder and the voice of Lightning and the voice of Calamity that trumpets their testimonies of the One who hold the universe in His very hands.

In this season of lights, I want to focus on the Light of the season.

That's true. Good point. I'm constantly fighting against the artificial lights for myself and on behalf of my family, but it's a hard fight.

Wishing you joy in the true Light!!!
