What are YOU doing?

TOMMY

We've been asked to sacrifice something we might love in order to better ourselves for the temple...to give up something as a "gift" to the Lord.

It could be anything you think would better your own life.

Me for example?
I'm going to give up PG-13 movies for the next 3 months.
Yes, I'm going to miss Transformers, but it is something that the Lord would be proud of me for doing.

And I challenge you to do the same.
Maybe you could try to get something out of seminary if you usually do homework in the back.
Try giving up 10 minutes every night to open and study the scriptures.
Don't play a certain video game or maybe try not gossiping with your friends.
Try to make every mutual activity for 3 months and see what happens.
Delete all music from your iPod that you would be ashamed of the Lord seeing on there.
There are SO many thing you can sacrifice to the Lord to show Him that you are ready for His Temple to come. Show Him how grateful you are for how He has blessed you.

Remember that you can lead by example. So, if you decide to take a challenge leave your comment here! We'd appreciate it!

It is my testimony that if we try to better ourselves and give something up for the Lord, He will bless us for our sacrifice and make us happier than we are were before. I have seen it happen for myself and know of how much the Lord loves me. I have no idea how He will bless you, but I promise you that you will be much happier.

Remember, Come UP to the Mountain of the Lord!
