    I’ve always thought of “practic(ing) virtue and holiness before me” as “doing right things right every time” then thinking about how I can’t measure up. Great to see this teaching in a light that makes sense to me and accommodates my shortcomings. Thanks again John. I love our Savior Jesus Christ. He has given me the best things that have ever happened to me in a lifetime of many great privileges and blessings.

    Bro Hilton, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I have learned SO much from your podcasts!! I so loved what you said about praying to the Father that our ancestors will help us on the other side of the veil. Also was so grateful for the story you shared about being an orthodox Mormon and staying true to our beliefs!!! And finally; I so appreciate the quote from Elder Bednar about the blessings of tithing. Contentment really is a spiritual gift that I need and am SO much happier when I have!

    I am reminded of the man who hired me for my current position. I work in a pharmacy which is open 7 days a week. He knew me casually already and brought up working on Sunday. He made it clear that he would schedule me in rotation on Sundays. “Everyone says they go to church, but no one does.” (He was raised in a family that did NOT live their church’s teachings.)
    The store I work at just happens to be 3 minutes away from my church building. (Not easy to find in Texas.) Every time I worked on Sunday, I would ask to leave for lunch a few minutes early so I could go over and partake of the Sacrament. I would sit in the foyer, in my work clothes, and eat my lunch. I did this without fail every time I was scheduled.
    A few months after I began working at this location, he quietly pulled me aside to let me know that he wouldn’t be scheduling me on Sundays anymore. “I can tell that you actually live your beliefs.”
    As you can imagine, this was a great blessing for me. It also opened the door to my coworkers approaching me to learn more about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

      Thank you for sharing. It is amazing what an example we can be if we just live our beliefs. I work in a hospital, so that means that occasionally I am asked to work on Sundays. I have said that I can work after 1 p.m. I didn't say why, but one of my supervisors figured it out on her own. I don't mind the work. I feel that I am doing the Lord's work when I work on Sundays. I am showing my love for my fellow man.

    Loved this entire video, thank you!!
    A concept we discussed at length in our FHE singles group Monday was from 3 Nephi 23:7-13 where Jesus asked about Samuel's prophecies. We noted that Jesus probably didn't ask with accusation or frustration in his tone, just a question. And Nephi wasn't ashamed or guilty in his response, just remembered nope we haven't done that and fixed it - it wasn't too late.
    I think this applies so beautifully to repentance, changing a habit, overcoming addiction, or remembering a prompting or invitation we were given.
    We often pray during church that we will act upon the promptings felt during the meeting. But I go home and forget, and then at some point have a flash of remembrance but think it's too late now.
    One example of that awkward moment was from Emily Belle Freeman's conference talk "In 2019 a prophetic invitation was extended to the women of the Church.... President Russell M. Nelson invited us to study D&C 25... Accepting that invitation changed my life."
    Am i the only one who has no memory of that invitation - and it changed her life. But like Nephi's reminder it's not too late, I can still just fix it.
    An addiction or habit I've been prompted to change, I can do that now. A new pattern I've felt inspired to put into my life can still be incorporated. Jesus is not accusing and I don't have to be ashamed, just use His Atonement and do it - He promises it's never too late.

      I didn’t remember that President Nelson issued that invitation either. When Sister Freeman talked about it I thought, “oh, yeah, I forgot about that!”
      I’m so happy to read your comment here. You reminded me of some of the beautiful parts of the gift of repentance. His grace is sufficient to provide forgiveness AND to protect me from committing sins as I strive to live closer to the ideal life.

    I want to add my witness that our ancestors are absolutely on sacred errand to act as ministering angels to us. I've had several experiences where I had seen and felt their presence in my life, and the lives of my children. They bear us up and help us on those walks where our loads are too heavy to carry. They know us, love us, and help us to fight the battles that we cannot see. Romans 8:31 "If God be for us, who can be against us?" I envision my entire family in front of me, beside me, and behind me and when Satan and his minions see me, they see ALL of us and run because we are a powerful family bound by the power of heaven ❤

    Even the temple profits us. We offer little in the way of cleaning and monetary offerings. We could not do this on our own. Even the very early saints offered more but we are so richly blessed. Even those who don't attend and are unaware are blessed by having a temple. It boggles my mind that people don't want temples in their area.

    The prophet clearly asked us to call the church by its correct name, that is, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. But since the prophet made this request, there have been many attempts to call the church by other names, such as The Church of Latter-day Saints. This happens especially among members. Sad. The name of Jesus Christ has power. We should not underestimate this power.
