Each Sunday when we come home from Church we ask Matayia what she learned. She used to answer "I don't know" We told her that was not an acceptable answer. If she didn't know what she learned, she must of not listened to her teacher, she assured us that she listens to her teacher and never answers with "I don't know" anymore. But I got thinking, what did I learn today?? So I am starting my new "Sunday Spirit" posts, somewhere for me to share what I learned each week at church and how I feel about it. I a not always so good at sharing my testimony in a public forum, but that doesn't mean that I don't have one. Hopefully I can express it well here. I came across this quote while preparing my lesson this week and I really loved it, It really made me think....
"May I add a word of caution to those of us who live in large wards and stakes. We have to be careful that the center of our testimony is not located in the social dimension of the Church community or the wonderful activities, programs, and organizations of our wards and stakes. All of these things are important and valuable to have—but they are not enough. Even friendship is not enough." By President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, 0ct 2008
Hopefully this is not still why I go to church, I say "still" because I know, at some points of my life this was why I went to church.
My lesson today was on "Following the example of Jesus Christ" My favorite quote was by President Hunter He said "We should at every opportunity ask ourselves, "what would Jesus do?" And then be more courageous to act upon the answer." This really got me thinking, I don't think the hard part is deciding what Jesus would do. The hard part is having the courage to act upon it. Courage is something that is constantly changing in my life, sometimes I have alot of it and other times I am really lacking in my courage bucket. So I am actively trying to fill my courage bucket so I can be more courageous in following Jesus's example.

Thanks for sharing with me what you learned at church this week. I know that seeing you friends at church and being social isn't the most important part of why we go to church, but it sure makes it a little more enjoyable!! Thanks for the uplifting quotes, I like what your doing, it's a good idea!Thanks for being such a great freind. . Candace
Great idea! (Sunday Post) I read that quote a while ago & loved it too. Bold & true. Thanks for the reminder.
okay answer to your question....how to do big font and color words- after you have made the post -edit the post and there are two tabs in that section, compose and edit HTML- click on compose and across the top are different font colors, font sizes and layouts. Hope that helps.
That is a great idea to post your Sunday thoughts. I am going to use the quote from Pres. Hunter for my talk to the young women this Sunday. You do a great job with your young women. Marsha
