one of our beautiful young women was baptised this morning and it was such a special experience. we have watched her grow over the past few months, coming from a member family who have been less active for many years, she had never been baptised, but has decided to do so.
she is such a sweet, fun girl and our presidency were so pleased to see her make the choice. we even decided to sing together at her baptism and were blessed with the most wonderful spirit in the room as we did so.
come follow me, the saviour said
then let us in his footsteps tread
for thus alone, can we be one
with god's own loved begotten son
come follow me, a simple phrase
yet truths sublime effulgent rays
are in these simple words combined
to urge, inspire, the human mind
is it enough, alone to know
that we must follow him below
while travelling through this vale of tears
no this extends to holier spheres
for thrones, dominions, kingdoms, powers
and glory great and bliss are ours,
if we throughout eternity
obey his words "come follow me"
i was really impressed with the final speaker at the baptism, one of our bishopric counselors who spoke about the importance of "learning to love", which really made me think. it is so true, we do need to learn to love. to love people who love us, to love people who don't, people who have hurt us and people who we may have hurt unintentionally. it was so thought provoking!
so - think who needs you, and learn to love ❤
