Sunday Sacrament Talks

{My sister is the BEST Mommy. Just had to share this adorable picture.}

Bryan and I both gave talks in Sacrament Mtg. on Sunday. He spoke on submissiveness and I spoke on obedience. In preparing for my talk, I had the feeling to share about the hymn "Do What is Right". The words to the song are:

1. Do what is right; the day-dawn is breaking,
   
   Hailing a future of freedom and light.
   
   Angels above us are silent notes taking
   
   Of ev’ry action; then do what is right!
   
   
   
   [Chorus]
   
   Do what is right; let the consequence follow.
   
   Battle for freedom in spirit and might;
   
   And with stout hearts look ye forth till tomorrow.
   
   God will protect you; then do what is right!
   
   
   
   2. Do what is right; the shackles are falling.
   
   Chains of the bondsmen no longer are bright;
   
   Lightened by hope, soon they’ll cease to be galling.
   
   Truth goeth onward; then do what is right!
   
   
   
   3. Do what is right; be faithful and fearless.
   
   Onward, press onward, the goal is in sight.
   
   Eyes that are wet now, ere long will be tearless.
   
   Blessings await you in doing what’s right!

I thought it was pretty awesome how the Sacrament Meeting rest hymn just happened to be this same song...



I focused my talk on the blessings that we receive from being obedient to God's commandments (happiness, peace, companionship of the Holy Ghost, etc.)



Overall I'd say our talks went well. As much as I dread given talks in sacrament meeting, when all is said and done I'm always grateful for the experience.
