pam Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Linda K. Burton - Relief Society Session LDS General Conference Keeping covenants is committing to follow the Savior and to show our gratitude for the price He paid. A covenant is a binding covenant that we will learn, act and live in a certain way. The Lord sets the terms and we agree to keep them. Covenant keeping protects us. We all have burdens to bear and to share. We know that the Lord rejoices in the soul that repents. Help children learn to keep a simple promise to help them learn how to keep covenants. The most important thing we can offer the world is to keep a Christ centered home. We can learn what it means to be worthy of a temple recommend. We can learn about sacred symbols such as baptism and the sacrament. We can discover the plan of happiness within the scriptures. We can learn the stories of our ancestors. We can discover the meaning of terms such as endowment, sealing, priesthood and keys We can learn that we go to the temple to make covenants. We return home to keep them. It is good to teach our children about the temple. It is best to show children by example that we cleave to our own baptismal and temple covenants. Keeping covenants is essential to true happiness. Covenant keepers are commandment keepers. When was the last time we rejoiced in taking the Sacrament? The Latter-day Saints are covenant people. Keeping our covenants demonstrates our love for the Savior and our Father in Heaven. Evaluate how much you love the Savior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
