Presidency's Message

Dear Franklin Stake Primary Presidencies,

Some thoughts from Sister Beck's conference talk are pertinent to us as mothers, wives, sisters, daughters and as Primary leaders:

Personal Revelation

"A good woman knows that she does not have enough time, energy, or opportunity to take care of all of the people or do all of the worthy things her heart yearns to do."

"... with personal revelation, she can prioritize correctly and navigate this life confidently."

"The ability to qualify for, receive, and act on personal revelation is the single most important skill that can be acquired in this life."

1- Keeping the commandments, repenting, and renewing covenants made at baptism lead to the blessing of always having the Lord’s Spirit with us.

2- Making and keeping temple covenants also adds spiritual strength and power to a woman’s life.

3-Many answers to difficult questions are found by reading the scriptures because the scriptures are an aid to revelation. Insight found in scripture accumulates over time, so it is important to spend some time in the scriptures every day.

4-Daily prayer is also essential to having the Lord’s Spirit with us. Those who earnestly seek help through prayer and scripture study often have a paper and pencil nearby to write questions and record impressions and ideas.

February Presidency's Message


PARABLE OF THE TRUCK AND THE TRAILER

The theme for our ward conferences this year is 2 Nephi 31:20, “Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.”
In thinking of this theme, a thought came to my mind about how we are like a truck and those who would follow us are like a trailer being pulled by the truck. As we drive in a straight, steadfast manner, the trailer follows us in a straight manner. However, if we swerve and lose sight of that straight and narrow path, so to does the trailer. In fact it swerves even more.
We can liken this to our lives. As we follow the commandments, pray regularly, read our scriptures, attend our meetings, and treat others with charity, those that are in our steward, our family and our primary, will follow our example and be blessed. It is my prayer that each of us “will press forward with a steadfastness is Christ”. We love you and pray for you.
Love,
The Franklin Stake Primary Presidency
