Quote Cards 64 and 65 (Loved Ones Who Go Astray) FREEBIE

Today's quote cards come from the Sunday School lesson that discussed the contrast between the stories of Cain and Abel and Enoch, Lesson 5: "If Thou Doest Well, Thou Shalt Be Accepted". This lesson reminded me of many of the challenges we face in today's world. We are our brother's keeper, but there is a limit to what we can accomplish. Although our intentions our to prevent our loved ones, and the world in general, from jumping off the spiritual cliff, we must also remember they have their free agency. Instead of condemning one another for each others weaknesses, we should remember to love. Our reaction to another unrighteous decisions can be as condemning to ourselves and our spiritual growth as the sin we are condemning, when we are not careful.

Today's quote came from the above lesson, at the very end, by Richard G. Scott, who gave excellent advise for how to handle these situations.

Quote Card 63 (The Fall) FREEBIE

I stayed home today still recovering from being sick for the past four days. I'm feeling much better; I just want to make sure I am still going to be better tomorrow when I return to work. It hurts the pocketbook to miss two days of work!

So, while I am lazy at home, I decided to make a quote card for today's Sunday School lesson. I read it through during the week. Then, I also read the related chapter in the Seminary manual as well as another book I have that discusses the fall of Adam and Eve. This is one of my favorite stories in the scriptures and it's one of the most important. It is the story of our first parents and their struggles in precipitating our life here on earth. This story is also one of the most misunderstood. Their story doesn't begin with the Garden of Eden and it doesn't fail with the fall. The fall was on purpose. It wasn't a sin; it was a transgression. As I was reading through all of my resources, the words that stuck with me the most during the rest of the week are the ones I concentrated on for this quote card. I hope you enjoy it, too.

Old Testament: Gospel Doctrine Teacher's Manual. Lesson 4: 'Because of My Transgression...'
