This week I'm focusing on talks by Elder Packer. Today I read an article he wrote about the sacredness and importance of bodies. He made one really profound point that really stood out to me: Your body is the instrument of your mind and the foundation of your character. That really struck me because I had never really thought about my body that way. But it is so true! This is the one and only body I'm blessed with on this earth. If I choose to abuse it, what does that say about me as a person? What is that telling Heavenly Father? He created this amazing body for me to use every day, to help me to return to him. If I ignore that gift and complain about it, how would that make Him feel?
I am so grateful for my body and all that it does for me. And I hope to continue to take good care of it to show Heavenly Father how grateful I am for this gift he's given me.
