Spiritual Thought - 05/09/12

“In the sequence of events as set forth in the scripture, God first created the earth, “and the earth was without form, and void” (Genesis 1:2).  He then separated the light from the darkness, and the waters from the land.  Then came the creation of vegetation of all kinds, giving the beauty of trees and grass, flowers and shrubs.  Then followed the creation of animal life in the sea and upon the land.
Having looked over all of this, He declared it to be good.  He then created man in His own likeness and image.  Then as His final creation, the crowning of His glorious work, He created woman.  I like to regard Eve as His masterpiece after all that had gone before, the final work before He rested from his labors.

I do not regard her as being in second place to Adam.  She was placed at his side as an helpmeet.  They were together in the Garden, they were expelled together, and they labored together in the world into which they were driven.”   President Gordon B. Hinckley

Conference. The cards will be passed with the notebooks. If any sister hasn’t received one,

Spiritual Thought - May 2

“The gospel is a thing of joy.  It provides us with a reason for gladness.  Of course there are times of sorrow.  Of course there are hours of concern and anxiety.  We all worry.  But the Lord has told us to lift our hearts and rejoice.”  President Gordon B. Hinckley
