Today in Sacrament Meeting one of the talks was given by a recent returned missionary. He told us the CPR of our souls. I was especially interested because lately I've felt like my soul has been aching. I felt like I needed to go to Church today but couldn't stay for all the meetings because of previously mentioned daughter with a broken knee that I'm being care-giver for. But I felt like I needed to go to Sacrament Meeting at least. So when the speaker started talking about CPR I sat up and took notice. (Maybe partly because our oldest son was a Paramedic.)
.
The CPR of our soul is simply: Church going; Prayer; and Reading the scriptures. If we do those things it will put us in a better frame of mind and help us in our daily lives. Breathe new life into us, save us, etc.
.
Now I think that was very interesting because yesterday I got a letter from an old friend that we met when we lived in Spain. She gave me this timely quote:
.
When you are going through something hard and wonder where God is:
Remember the teacher is always quiet during the test!
.
I hope these quotes will touch your soul as they have mine.
Have a great day/week ~Joyce

Thanks for sharing, I needed to see this since I've missed the last few Sacrament meetings due to us being sick, and also a family crisis that's made it hard for me to deal with real life and get out of the house. (But lately I'm feeling the desire to reach out and be with people again.) This kind of spiritual CPR is really such a simple formula but works miracles! Thanks for following my blog. :)
ReplyDeleteI had to stay home from church today because I'm trying to get over a cold. I miss going. I'm so glad to read your post. CPR, I'll have to remember that from now one.
