Another great week of the New Testament and Paul

In my Religion class this past week, we focused on 1 Corinthians chapters 4-16. These are some amazing chapters on ways that we can use Christ in our lives to help us overcome temptation/sin and keep progressing spiritually.

My class is an online class, and we have formed groups to get together once a week online to discuss things we have learned from our studies. This past week I got together with my group online and it was a very neat and uplifting experience to be able to discuss things I learned and questions I had and to learn from the other members in my group.

Someone in my group talked about how her family was out and about doing something. Her and her family went home and received a call from someone asking her if she was missing one of her little ones(child). She realized one of her children was gone, and found out that her young son was a little ahead of the family when they were going to the car and he hid around a corner and was going to scare her, but she and the family went a different way to the car and left him. She talked about how she never would want to leave anyone behind and related that to how our Heavenly Father feels toward all of us as his children. Heavenly Father doesn't want to leave anyone of us behind, so he has given us Jesus Christ and his gospel, the sacrament, and many other things to keep us on the right path because he loves us so much.

I am grateful for the love that my Heavenly Father has for me and my family and for the happiness the gospel brings into my life. I know Heavenly Father is always watching out for us in this life, especially when we are doing good things that are pleasing to him.  Have a great week!
