The gift of our bodies - November 2, 2014

Nettie lead us in a brief lesson about how we are blessed with having a physical body.
She recalled many events her body taken her through, getting high heels at 16 and hearing of the attack on Pearl Harbor, going on a train alone at 21, getting married at 23, and dressing her mother for burial at 61 - the body that gave her a body.

• Why do we have a body?

To cover our spirits, to learn. Our bodies are connected to our spirits, so taking care of one can also improve the other.  We can feel life more fully with our bodies.

Our bodies are an amazing gift and it is incredible what people do with it, even if not every part works perfectly.

We closed with time for a few beautiful testimonies.
