I have been preparing for my Sunday School lesson for Sunday. The title is "To this end was I born." There is a wonderful video from seminary in the 90's that is suggested to be shown but as I was looking through the lesson, I found this quote from some supplemental material. It has really made me ponder - in the temple and as I have gone through my activities today. I put it out there for you to think about.
Heber J. Grant: "There is but one path to safety for the Latter-day Saints, and that is the path of duty. It is not a testimony, it is not a marvelous manifestation, it is not knowing that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is true, that it is a the plan of salvation, it is not knowing that the Savior is the Redeemer and that Joseph Smith was His prophet - that will save you and me; but it is the keeping of the commandments of God, living the life of a Latter-day Saint."
I have had a smile or two over this. For some reason, Pirates of Penzance music has been running through my head. The theme of that play is 'duty first'. I will try harder to keep the commandments and do my duty.
