~5 Ways to Remember Christ~

1. Put Him first-

• (Exodus 20:3)
• "It is clear that putting spiritual learning first does not relieve us from learning secular things. On the contrary, it gives our secular learning purpose and motivates us to work harder at it. If we will keep spiritual learning in its proper place, we will have to make some hard choices of how we use our time. We generally know when papers will be due, when tests must be taken, when projects must be completed. And we know when the Sabbath will come. We know when the institute class will be held. We know when the prayers at the beginning of a day and those at the end should come. We know about how long it takes in reading the scriptures before we begin to feel the Holy Spirit. We know about how many hours it takes to prepare and to perform our service in the Church. When we see life as it really is, we plan for a time and a place for all of those things. There will come crises when there does not seem to be enough time. There will be many instances when one thing crowds out another. But there should never be a conscious choice to let the spiritual become secondary as a pattern in our lives. Never. That will lead to tragedy. The tragedy may not be obvious at first, nor may it ever be clear in mortal life. But remember, you are interested in education not for life, but for eternal life. When you see that reality clearly with spiritual sight, you will put spiritual learning first and yet not slight the secular learning. In fact, you will work harder at your secular learning than you would without that spiritual vision."~President Henry B. Eyring (CES Fireside "Education for Real Life")

2. Slow Down, Unplug and Be still-

• Pslam 46:10
• Matthew 4:1
• Mark 6:32
• Luke 9:18
• John 8:2

3. See Him in everything-

• Moses 6:63
• Alma 30:44

4. Practice Makes Permanent-

We show how we feel about Christ by the way we treat others.

5. Remember how much He loves you!

• Matthew 11:28
• 3 Nephi 9:14

More is to come, at least that's my plan ;o)
