I’ve been listening to the 187th General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. You can listen too from lds.org. I’ve noticed an obvious general theme of being respectful to all people. That advise comes at an appropriate time in our politically angered times. Elder Renlund, a Saturday morning speaker, was very direct about this. Closely aligned with this theme is the enemy of ‘Pride’. So often that precedes our persecution or aversion to individuals or groups of people. I have included 2 poems below. It will look like one poem, but I ran the two together.
Don’t become ‘puffed up’ or proud in who we think we are.
Only those who humbly serve will ever find truth’s star.
Be friends unto those we meet. Respect their agency.
Only when we love each other can we grow truly free.
Be careful of worldly pride, in knowledge, possessions or fame.
Vanity leads us from true charity, unto a world of pain.
Only those who humbly seek will ever truly find,
That service to the poor and weak give us true peace of mind.
That is a beautiful photo
