Spiritual Sickness

Hey everyone! Well yet another week has come and gone. And Christmas is getting closer. And I’m sure most of you in your busy lives are probably going to skim over this because you have other things to do which I totally understand and don’t blame you for. I would probably do the same... but for those of you who will read this and look for some sort of uplifting message I will see what I can do. Unfortunately this week has been filled with sickness, doctors appointments, and lots of medicine runs to the store. And so I really don’t have a whole lot to talk about from the missionary side this week. However, it really gave me an idea for a more spiritual side. In a spiritual sense, everybody has some sort of thing that they are struggling with. No matter how big or how small, we all are at least a little bit spiritually sick. But luckily for us, there are remedies to help with that. And lots of them. When we are sick, we often go to the doctor to find out what’s wrong with us and what we need to do to fix it. This can be related to our church leaders. Sometimes we realize what is wrong with us already. But ultimately we all have home remedies, secret family recipes, and medicine that we turn to for help. This medicine is the gospel. When we seem spiritually sick, the scriptures, words of the prophets, church attendance and many more things provide us with the strength and energy that we need to push through and persevere. And I can promise you that it is better than any worldly medication you could possibly get.

In this time of year it can be a huge struggle for some people. I would pray that we would all reach out a loving hand to those who are in need of our help. I promise that they are out there. If you will just look for those who you can help you will find them and your life will be blessed as you bless the lives of others. Share Christlike love especially in this Christmas season. I love you all! Please let me know if there’s anything I can do for you! Merry Christmas!!!🎅🏻🎄☃️

Love,
Elder Littlewood
