In the summer of 2016, I attended church in a town called San Jose Iturbide, Mexico! 4 other girls and I lived in a small apartment across the street from the school that we taught English at. We arrived in San Jose on a Saturday, and of course I planned to go to church the next day. I was overjoyed when I heard that church was across the street, ALSO IN THE SCHOOL!
“I Am a Child of God”
I just love that simple phrase. It is so comforting. I often think how everyone is a child of God and what that means. I guess it means that He is our Heavenly Father and we are His Children. Jesus is His son, our Brother. We need to try to be like Him; perfect, pure, holy, reverent so we that we can get back to Heaven.
My body is sacred. I can jump. I can run. I can play. I can dance. Heavenly Father gave me my body. I can treat it with care. Because I want to respect my body, I will never take drugs, smoke or chew tobacco or drink alcohol or use addictive substances. My mind is also part of my body and I will try to think about good things and listen to good music and watch good movies.
