This episode contains two parts. The first 25 minutes are thoughts on this week’s lesson. The second half is part of Season 1, Episode 3, about the Christmas Nativity. I thought it might be nice to play it with your family as you get out your nativity this year. The prophet has asked us to try to find ways the Lord speaks to us. This little part of the lesson may just help you find the way he talks to you.
Here is a link to the lesson in the manual.
Don't forget to buy my book, "Feasting on the Words of Christ." This book contains an easy five-step method for studying the Book of Mormon to receive personal direction in your life and answers to your prayers. It's a perfect companion for this year's study of the Book of Mormon. Available in print or Audible format. GREAT CHRISTMAS GIFT!

0:00.0 | weekly podcast where we feast on the words of Christ and have fun doing it. I'm your host, Melanie |
0:05.7 | Stroud. This is Moronai 1 through 6th to keep them in the right way. I just wanted to say |
0:14.6 | really fast that last week I talked about making our trials worth something and I spoke about the need to share our experiences |
0:22.8 | and help others who may be going through the same things, and I talked about relying on |
0:26.8 | a savior and that he can take our pain, and all of this. And I talked about John Walsh and all the |
0:33.5 | things that he did for the people of the world after the death of his son. But I hope that |
0:41.6 | nobody felt that I was saying that they weren't allowed to grieve or be sad or struggle. |
0:47.0 | If it came across that way, I'm so sorry because grief is hard and it takes time and it has |
0:52.5 | phases. We are mad. We are sad. This isn't there. Not me. |
0:56.9 | Whatever. There's times when physically we can't even move. We're so broken. So I hope I didn't |
1:01.9 | minimize anyone's pain or make anyone feel bad that they're not out. Taking cookies to the neighbors |
1:07.2 | the day after something terrible happens to them. That's not what I was saying. |
1:11.6 | And I know John Walsh didn't start America's Most Wanted the day after they found his son. |
1:18.1 | And so I want you to remember that. I know that it takes time and we're allowed to be sad. |
1:24.2 | I just was hoping to share my feelings on how Christ has made it so that I can be sad for a shorter |
1:32.2 | amount of time and that he can lift it when it's just too much for me to carry anymore. |
1:38.0 | So not feeling validated is a terrible feeling, and so I hope nobody felt that way. |
1:43.5 | Also, remember this. This is one of my |
1:45.9 | favorite scriptures. I don't know why I didn't read it last week, and I don't know why I'm going |
1:50.3 | back to this tribulation and trials thing, but maybe we need to hear it over and over because we're |
1:54.9 | always given tribulation and trials. But in verse three of the doctrine and co and Covenants 58 it says, |
