Being Christlike

Christ Healing the Blind by Jeffery Hein
"What seek ye?'

Currently,  just the desire to desire and then do.
What happened to my motivation?

At Ward Conference,
President Maxfield 
talked about bumper stickers.

He explained that one extremely rude driver
was causing frustration on the road.
As he neared the driver,
he was able to read the bumper sticker
on the driver's car
"HONK if you are for JESUS!"

He went on to say that as followers of Christ,
do we live what we proclaim?

Hanging in our homes are framed
Proclamations to the World...yet
are we having Family Home Evenings?
Are we having Family Prayer?
Do we speak with kindness?
Do we read the 
FAMILY PROCLAMATION
over and over again
to remind ourselves of those Sacred Responsibilities?

On our fingers,
some wear CTR rings.
When difficult choices arise...do we stop...pause
and look at the ring and repeat the words
"Choose the Right?"

In our wallets,
Temple Recommends allowing us
entrance into the TEMPLE
to do the noble work for those
unable to do it for themselves.
"When was the last time that Temple Recommend
was put to use?

What is being Christlike?
What improvements can I make?
What bumper stickers do I need to revisit?
