Socializing. I hosted playgroup today. I'm glad I did. I love having people in my home!
Study time...
Alma 13:10 - Have been thinking of the LDS faith and how sometimes people leave the church because they choose or don't feel they can live the standards fully. Because we don't live things with perfection doesn't mean the religion is false. It doesn't even mean one shouldn't be part of it. It means that we are all human, living, making mistakes. It means we continually partake of the atonement, which is not a bad thing.
The end of this verse says '... choosing to repent and work righteousness rather than to perish.' It may seem easier to walk away because you somehow think you have to live perfectly, but can't. Does that really bring peace?

Quiet time. Some days the kids just play well together, they play quietly and it sure is nice! I sat and studied in a quiet house and all the kids were home!

Went back to 1 Nephi. We talked about murmuring vs. faith in the atonement today. Really enjoyed the discussion.

Alma 12: 30. Again, makes things known according to faith, repentance, and holy works. Can't know things by only having faith. Having faith means we believe in the Atonement of Christ and we utilize it! The only way we can truly come to know Him is by partaking of that atonement. Making ourselves better, clean through Him. Those things by themselves still don't work, remember the word diligent? Have to continue on, be consistent, holy works... doing.
