OTHER RESOURCES:

OBJECTIVE:

    “How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee.”
    “Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people
    shall be my people, and thy God my God.”

CONCLUSION:

Explain that if we develop an eternal perspective, our attitudes will become positive. We will find greater joy and peace in life, and others will be able to gain strength from our example. Bear your testimony to the young women about how an eternal perspective has helped you in your life.

MID-WEEK ACTIVITY IDEA:

Have the class members prepare a list of things they can do now to have a better perspective on life. They might consider seeking a testimony of the truthfulness of the Church, gaining a better understanding of the Savior’s mission and atonement, preparing for and receiving a patriarchal blessing, and overcoming weaknesses such as procrastination or anger.
