Word of Wisdom Activity.

The sisters in the Euclid Ward had a fun evening of food and friends.  A small lesson was given on the blessings of keeping the Word of Wisdom.  Included in the lesson was this quote by President Boyd K. Packer:

 "I have come to know... that a fundamental purpose of the word of wisdom has to do with revelation.

From the time you are very little we teach you to avoid tea, coffee, liquor, tobacco, narcotic
s, and anything else that disturbs your health.

And you know that we get very worried when we find one of you tampering with those things.

If someone under the influence can hardly listen to plain talk, how can they respond to spiritual promptings that touch their most delicate feelings?

As valuable as the word of wisdom is as a law of health, it may be much more valuable to you spiritually than it is physically."



Following the discussion, the sisters joined together in the gym and made fruit salad, spring rolls and quesadillas together.  They shared favorite kitchen tools, recipes and tips for healthy eating.  It was a wonderful, simple activity enjoyed by all who attended!
