In Relief Society, for our lesson we talked about love and how we need to love like a sponge.
Let me back up. Annie, our teacher, shared with us an object lesson. She had two volunteers. The first one she asked to use a rock to move water to one bowl to the next. And the second volunteer used a sponge. The sponge had a better result than the rock did. Obviously. ;)
The rock wasn’t able to absorb the water. Some was able to get on the rock and drip off of it when placed above the empty bowl. So it is with our hearts. If we are “cold hearted” and close our hearts and it become as hard as a rock, we can’t absorb, or share love with others.
However with the sponge we could easily absorb the water, and squeeze it out into the empty bowl much easier and faster. :) When we are open to receiving love, then are we able to share that love with others.
We talked about different ways we could share love with others. By serving one another, after all actions speak loader than words. We can show love by hugs (with a squeeze ;)) and/or simply writing a letter and letting those we love know that we love them. ;) There are many ways we can show love.
It is important to love, after all.. it’s a commandment. ;)
John 15:12 “This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.”
Love,
