Lesson 16: "Offer Up Thy Sacraments Upon My Holy Day" August 19, 2012
The Sabbath day is a holy day that we should spend worshipping and participating in the covenant of the Sacrament. We are blessed to live so close to our church building and in a community where we can come to church on Sunday, and be a part of the learning and worshipping that happens on Sunday. We should be reverent during Sacrament, and find ways that work for us individually, to stay in tune with the Spirit, and to remember why we take the Sacrament. For those of us with children, we should make sure we teach them the importance of taking the sacrament, and taking it worthily.
We should also, as families and individuals, find ways that we can be together as a family and worship our Heavenly Father and our Savior every Sunday. The Lord blessed us with the Sabbath day, so that we might rest from the cares of the world, and so that we might worship and learn about his gospel. It might help to prepare the night before or the morning before Sacrament meeting, to really ponder and pray, and think about why we take the Sacrament, and to be better prepared to receive the blessings that come with renewing our covenants each week in church. Remember to keep the Sabbath day holy, and we will be blessed for it.
