Wow,
NO time to email today - we've been too busy
prowling the streets of Boston. In the rain. ALL DAY. We went to the
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, so so awesome! We had so much fun we
forgot to eat. ... I'm being serious.
So in
lieu of my usual nonsensical ramblings, let me share with you a short
but profound incite that was shared this Sunday during our Relief
Society meeting. The lesson was on prayer, and we will call it "The
Parable of the Hasbro Game."
In Doctrine and
Covenants Ch. 10, we read that we must "pray always to conquer Satan."
Conquer Satan in what, you may ask? A game of Battleship. Life is like
we are playing a game of Battleship against Satan, except Satan can see
both his board AND ours. He knows who we were before we came to this
Earth. He knows our potential. He knows our righteous desires. But we
can't remember all of those things right now in our puny mortal forms.
BUT HEAVENLY FATHER CAN! And so that's why we need to pray - God can see
both sides of the board and can help us through this game of Battleship
we call life if we ask Him to.
Haha ... This seemed a lot more profound on Sunday morning. Sleep deprivation can do that to a girl. Oh well.
I LOVE YOU AND I LOVE THE GOSPEL!
xoxo,
Sister Gledhill
