Kaatje Wilcox from the Relief Society Stake Presidency gave the lesson today. She was so energetic and spiritual (a great combination). The lesson began with a song (and dance :)) that had everyone singing and/or marching. As we sang about standing for truth and right, I was thinking of the word valiant. It is such a strong word that means so much, and I will never hear that word again without thinking of the Prophet Joseph Smith. He embodies the very word. While innocently incarcerated, Joseph Smith was able to silence the armed and hostile guards while he stood in shackles. So much power from one man!
From the lesson, I learned that it is so important to stand up for our beliefs, even if we need to stand against peers of our own faith. Sounds easy...
There are so many things we need to do to become Christlike. And I emphasize "do" because being Christlike is more than just thinking good things about others. Heavenly Father wants us to be like Jesus in our actions. More things get done that way. Like Sis. Wilcox said, "We need to Show and Tell others that we love them."
What Christlike qualities would you like to have?
If you have any questions or thoughts on the lesson, please leave a comment!

That was very well put. Living the gospel and being Christlike takes action. We can't just sit on the sidelines and hope someone else will do missionary work, serve others, reach out to the sisters in our ward, etc. It is something we can all work on! Thank you for the update on the lesson. I don't get to hear the lessons because I am in the primary. It will be nice to check here weekly.
