That All May Be Edified

Lisa, our welcome Norwegian visitor, said she was overwhelmed and touched by the comments made in our February study group.  It is interesting that we all can relate to each woman's struggles and questions.    She said it makes her want to go home to Norway and set up a similar group.  (Welcome to our new Norwegian friends!)

Lisa said that while the Church and our culture both help us to want to serve and improve, we have a tendency to be overly critical of ourselves.  We don't need to compare ourselves to others or be degrading to ourselves.  We need to pat ourselves on the back that, despite our challenges, we are still here!

Doctrine and Covenants 84:110 teaches us that "the body hath need of every member, that all may be edified together."  We can admire each other's strengths without thinking that each of us has to be able to do everything.  We should be grateful to have others to help us share our burdens and our responsibilities.

Thanks for coming, Lisa!
