Sunday February 7th lesson from Sister Bagley. She gave a beautiful heartfelt lesson on Becoming Self-Reliant. This is a handout she gave us. It is intended to help us identify the areas of self-reliance we are lacking in, to help us start thinking about the next steps and goals we can give ourselves in becoming more self-reliant.
“Food for the hungry cannot come from empty shelves;
Money to assist the needy cannot come from an empty purse;
Support and understanding cannot come from the emotionally starved;
Teaching cannot come from the unlearned;
Spiritual guidance cannot come from the spiritually week.”
-Ana Maria Coburn, Primary General Board

WORK and LEARN
Work is an antidote for anxiety, and ointment for sorrow, and a doorway to possibility. Those who aren’t unafraid to roll up their sleeves and lose themselves in the pursuit of worthwhile goals are a blessing to their families, community, nations and to the Church.
Knowledge does away with darkness, anxiety, and doubt; for these cannot exist where knowledge is. Strive to increase your knowledge of all that is “virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy.” Seek knowledge “by study and also by faith.” Seek with a humble spirit and contrite heart. -President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, 13th Article of Faith, D&C 109:7
