This week's lesson was from the Young Women General Meeting last March - President Dieter F. Uchtdorf's talk "Your Happily Ever After."
Some highlights -
- We are in the middle of our own "fairy tale" in mortality - in every fairy tale, the main character has adversity to overcome before they can get to "happily ever after."
- We are writing our own story - we've got to decide where our happily ever after will take us.
- Delaini (who was giving the lesson) had a great list of counsel to help:
- Always try
- Plan ahead
- Use common sense
- Learn from your mistakes
- Face your challenges
- Believe in yourself
- Forget the small things
- Don't be so negative
- Adversity teaches us things we cannot learn otherwise - we have the opportunity to develop depth of character through overcoming challenges.
- It is your reaction to adversity, not adversity itself, that determines how your life's story will develop.
- 2 Nephi 2: 11 - There must be an opposition in all things.
- Doctrine and Covenants 121:7-8 - If we endure adversity well, we will be exalted on high.
- Stay true to what you know is right - the gift of eternal life comes through the understanding that we are beloved daughters of Heavenly Father.
Thanks to Delaini for giving such a great lesson!
