Years ago I enjoyed learning that President George Albert Smith had a personal creed that he lived by. I was fascinated and wanted one also!
This year the one thing I want to add to my old list is....
"heed the Spirit"
I really don't always act when prompted. More than I care to admit... I delay at times...I procrastinate sometimes...I try and rationalize the thought to action--To move it outside the realm of my doing. I see missed opportunities.
Actually I'm going to retire #8 on my personal creed list and put "heed the Spirit" in it's place. I really know #8 by heart. I use it all the time and it is a part of my thinking.
In thinking some more about it....I'm going to retire #5 also as that is a natural part of my thinking.
Actually I'm going to check it over carefully and see if there are any that I honestly feel are embedded in my mind, deep enough, that they pop into my thoughts when needed. I'm going to set those aside as Emeritus Status!
Do you have a creed? I was so happy when President Smith's creed was in our RS manual this past year and we got to study it a bit. I will share my final list after a careful reading and consideration. And hopefully be able to feel that I can move ahead after years of the same list and put on something new!!!
