Shelly taught this Sunday's lesson and it was based on the talk by David A. Bednar called "Bear Up Their Burdens with Ease". Thanks for the lesson Shelly!
We talked about how spiritual loads can give you spiritual traction. A lot of the time, tasks that we need to do to help us be more sensitive to the spirit are hard to do and can feel like a load. My husband and I have actually been having a hard time going to the temple because we want to do endowments, but it takes so looong. We tell ourselves that we will go after work, then we get home and are tired, eat dinner and don't want to do anything else for the rest of the night. Then we tell ourselves that we are going to go on Saturday, but Saturday is the day that we run all the errands we didn't want to do during the week. We also save Saturdays for fun things that take a little longer that we don't have time to do after work.
Maybe this sounds familiar to some of you. Other spiritual burdens might be reading scriptures daily, saying our own personal prayers, visiting teaching, fasting, etc. I know that doing these things will help us to draw closer to Christ, and the time spent doing spiritual things is time well spent. We've just need to take the time to do them.
Anyways, feel free to comment below if you learned something special from the lesson! I know I'm going to try harder to get my husband and myself to the temple this month.
