Stand up

Take notice of the things all around you. There is much in our world vying for our attention. It was made clear to me at conference that there is a great need for as many people as possible to stand up. Stand tall even when it is not the most popular thing to do.

Satan is fighting hard...why aren't we! Everything he does is spent in malicious, venomous attacks that will harm  you and I. Meanwhile for the most part we are waking up Monday morning wondering how our favorite sports teams did. We are focused in on the mundane and the things that matter most are getting left behind. They are claimed as "old fashioned."

No, is the time to choose. What side are you on? How do you want to be remembered? When it comes right down to it the things that matter most...are right under your own roof. We must consecrate and consider holy the time spent with our family. We need to teach lessons that can only be taught in the home. These lessons are NOT the responsibility of the world. But left unchecked the world will teach them.

Sand up and do not be ashamed of the testimony that is in you! The spirit has borne witness to your heart. Share it! Shout it upon the rooftops. Let the world know how much you care.
