Sunday Sermon

Our Relief Society lesson today was on the Creation and we were asked three key questions to think about and discuss -

Why did we need to come to the earth?
What are the purposes of the Creation?
How do God’s creations show that He loves us?

Such simple questions but so essential to our lives here on earth and our salvation. We sang For the Beauty of the Earth for the closing song - one of my absolute favorites.

For the Beauty of the Earth

For the beauty of the earth,
For the beauty of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies,
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.

For the beauty of each hour
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale, and tree and flow’r,
Sun and moon, and stars of light,
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.

For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth, and friends above,
For all gentle thoughts and mild,
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.


Can you believe this photo is of an actual Albuquerque sunset? Absolutely breathtaking.
