So I needed to take a 3 credit class to finish up some requirements for school. I saw that I could take a religion class (New Testament) for 2 and thought why not. This is my first week and already I can tell that while this started as a class of necessity it's going to change to a class of learning something. For this class I needed to make a blog post each week so here it is.

This week we talked about principles from the scriptures. One of the things that was brought up was "those who have much should give back." I'm not saying I'm prefect in any way but I try and follow this philosophy. The Lord has blessed me with a good job and money the least I can do is give back. I hope it doesn't come to this but I may need help sometime in my life as well and I would hope that someone gave like I did/do. I don't think it has to do with just money though. I think we can give time/help to others to give back. The Lord knows our heart and if we truly are willing to help someone at anytime He knows that. We may not be helping someone all the time but we need to be willing all the time. The question was asked do we know someone in our life that just does for others without complaining or you can call on them for anything? Wouldn't it be nice if we were the person someone thought of when asked this question.

  1. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us, Sarah. You have a good understanding of so many concepts! I was surprised to see so many articles already on this blog.

  2. You are a great example of this, Sarah! Always willing to give. I think the world would be a better place if everyone tried to give back a little more.

  3. I couldn't comment on the blog itself, but I have been thinking about this a lot. I feel like I am happy to help people, but I still want it to be on my schedule. Like, I want to decide WHEN to help. The problem is that other people's needs don't happen just when it's convenient. I don't have an answer for this, but I'm trying to get better about being available all the time.- Carrie
