RS Presidency Message
Write an inspirational message for the sisters for September, was Kathryn’s request. I feel so unprepared for such an assignment. You my sisters are who I look to to find hope in a hopeless situation. To find courage when everything looks so daunting. To find an abundance of love one for another.
The world may be a pretty bleak place right now. Seems like this disease is going to go on forever. So as the song asks, “where can I turn for peace, where is my solace,” I find what helps make me whole is by looking at my sisters in Christ. I see their compassion, their trust that all will be well and unending hope and faith.
I am amazed at the knowledge and common sense that you all possess. If you find yourself in need of more, I hope you know that the Lord is waiting to help you find your answers. All you need to do is pray humbly with real intent and determination and you will not be denied. “The Lord in his unbounded kindness anxiously seeks to shower these spiritual gifts upon us.” (The Infinite Atonement, Tad R. Callister, p.274)
In case you wonder what some of these gifts are here is a short list. Faith, Charity, wisdom, healing, power to work mighty miracles, speak in tongues, patience, humility, integrity, kindness, unselfishness, listening, caring for others, compassion, music, non contentiousness, gift of being able to ponder. If you can’t find what you need here it is not because it doesn’t exist, it is because I didn’t think or know of it, but the Lord does and nothing is impossible with the Lord.
Mary Lou Davies, RS Presidency
