Alma 31:1-5 I am finding a great personal parallel between the thoughts of Alma toward the Zoramites (who once were Nephites) and my own personal family dynamic with my older children (who once also were active in Church activities). This loss of my children from church activity has been the source of sorrow for me. Verse 5 is a powerful reminder of priorities and purpose. "The preaching of the word had a great tendency to lead the people to do that which was just..." Today's Action Items: Allow myself to feel sorrow for the loss of my children. Understand that I can do something to change my situation. Pray for power to know what to do next.
