Sunday's question

What did you learn in church today?? My answer: Nothing. We didn't go. My husbnd is really sick, and we have been fighting for two days. It's a lovely sabbeth day.....and Stake conference, but we stayed home. So I would love anything the rest of you learned or picked up on in church today. I'm in a sour mood, and need some enlightening. We are currently getting the approval for being sealed this Fall, and ever since we've been working on it, (my husband's sealing clearance from the First Presidency) I have noticed all his faults, and am really wondering if I want to be sealed to him for ETERNITY..... isn't that awful? He's a good guy, but sometimes very thoughtless...but many men are that way, so I doubt I'd find better elsewhere. I just keep telling myself that it's Satan working to keep us from proceeding in what we should do to progress. But sometimes that seems like such a pat answer to problems. I can't blame Satan on all my problems, usually they begin with me.

Yes Tracey it is Satan working on you. I have a couple friends who went through the temple after being married for many, many years. All of them have experienced the same things as you are describing. Their marriage was wonderful before they talked about going to the temple and once they started the preparations they argued, fought and saw the worst in each other. They had many, many doubts not only about being sealed but also about just being married. Keep in mind that this really is Satan doing everything he can to get you doubt and not become an eternal family. Congratulations on doing what is necessary to go to the temple. My husband is a non-member and I'm waiting for the day we can experience the same conflicts (ha ha). Today was our High Council Sunday. The theme for Sacrament meeting was supporting your leaders. It was good. High Council Sunday's are one of my favorite meetings of the week. I teach Primary and our lesson today was when Jesus appeared to the Nephites after his resurrection. He taught the people and the people were a bit overwhelmed trying to comprehend everything they were told. Jesus admonished them to go home and "ponder" the things in their hearts. The lesson also pointed out that when we hear messages from the church leaders we should "ponder" them in our hearts, just like Jesus taught the Nephites. Good day today, good meetings. Melody

It looks like you've thought it through. I doesn't make it easier, does it? What a blessing it will be when it's done. We had stake conference, too but only stayed for an hour. Bless my children. I learned that one of our buildings will get a steeple. Nothing profound though.

Tracey, sorry you were having a hard time on Sunday. I know I'm a day late and a dollar short I just wanted to say I hope things look up for you. I'm sure you'll work it all out. I believe it is Satan too, even if it is the pat answer. Hang in there.
