Sometimes every day life wears on us and the trials and realities of life bring us slowly down. It is as if we don't know how to explain it but life just seems to be a little bit too much and we need a breather. That is what is so great about he gospel. Every week we are provided with that much needed "breather" as we go to church and partake of the sacrament. The sacrament is the most important reason why we go to church.
The sacrament is only possible because our Savior sacrificed his life for us. It is our weekly reminder that Christ suffered and died so that we do not have to. Each week before the sacrament we sing a beautiful hymn reminding us of Christ's sufferings and triumph over death. I am so thankful that we can partake of the sacrament each week and experience that renewal in our lives.
Each week as we sit pondering the Savior pleading through prayer for the sweet whispering of the spirit to tell us again, "Behold your sins are forgiven you; you are clean before me; therefore, lift up your heads and rejoice" (D&C 110: 5)
