Burton spoke, at the General Women\u2019s Meeting, on being spiritually prepared to receive temple blessings. Mentioning the story of the Nephites and how they were \u201cprepared\u2026in a manner which never had been known\u201d (<a title=\"Alma\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lds.org\/scriptures\/bofm\/alma\/49.8?lang=eng\">Alma 49:8<\/a>), what does that mean for us?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Have we been properly prepared to enter the temple, or is there more to consider?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>What do we find in the temple when we go? Sis. Burton said we can feel \u201ca peaceful loving spirit \u2026 inspiration, revelation, and power to cope with adversities of life.\u201d Do we thoroughly understand this? When we leave the temple, do we know that we have received a boost that will help us deal with the pain and hardship of this earth life?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been hearing little voices that seem to be complaining about how this particular meeting was presented. Women wondered why painful situations weren\u2019t portrayed and talked about. Why wasn\u2019t pain addressed? How are we supposed to cope when pain is never discussed?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I believe Sis. Burton addressed their complaints directly. The temple is where we receive peace and power. We go to the temple to find a reprieve from daily life. Then we leave with power to continue the weary battle. We have never been told our pain will go away, but we have been told over and over again that we can be carried and blessed with strength to endure. It doesn\u2019t help anyone to wallow, or hear others wallow. Instead, we must find hope and uplifting words that will help us pick ourselves up and fight on.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Her reference of the ten virgins (<a title=\"Matt.\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lds.org\/scriptures\/nt\/matt\/25.1-13?lang=eng\">Matt. 25: 1-13<\/a>) is a powerful warning for us to pick ourselves up and consistently work toward being prepared. What if five of those virgins were not &#8220;prepared in a manner&#8221; that they hadn&#8217;t counted on; that they did not know? As our efforts collect drop by drop, we must accept that this takes time and consistent effort on our part. Those virgins who slacked off were judged by Jesus Christ himself and condemned to wait outside staying separate from those who were rewarded for seeking Christ to overcome their struggle and their pain.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The question may be asked, How do we fill our lamps? But we know the answer to this question already. It is following the basics of the gospel. There is nothing knew for us to get all \u201cjazzed about.\u201d It simply takes our \u201cconsistent correct choices\u201d, as <a title=\"Elder Richard\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lds.org\/general-conference\/2010\/10\/the-transforming-power-of-faith-and-character?lang=eng\">Elder Richard G. Scott<\/a> put it, repeated in a steady constant dependable way.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At one time Sister Bonnie L. Oscarson shared with Sister Burton a statement that offers us a great moral outlook. \u201cWhere much is required much more will be given.\u201d To those sisters who insist on feeling sorry for their situation, and for those who are truly in a terrible place, know that our Heavenly Father loves you. We have come down on this earth to be tested and it is required for us to pass many tests to prove ourselves worthy. But we were never meant to do it alone. While finding our way back to our spiritual home we have only to reach toward Jesus Christ. He is our power and our strength and we will be able to overcome everything with His help. Because we know and have accepted truth in our lives, at the time of baptism, we are expected to live a higher standard of obedience. We can do it. We can call upon the Savior at any time. He is waiting. Don\u2019t waste the atoning gift that has already been given to us.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Remember Nephi\u2019s words who reminded us that \u201cthe Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them\u201d (<a title=\"1 Ne 3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lds.org\/scriptures\/bofm\/1-ne\/3.7?lang=eng\">1 Ne 3:7<\/a>). Come unto the Savior who said, \u201cTake my yoke upon you, and learn of me; \u2026 for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.\u201d (<a title=\"Matt\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lds.org\/scriptures\/nt\/matt\/11.29-30?lang=eng\">Matt. 11:29-30<\/a>) Organize your life so that you can fully prepare to receive \u201cevery needful thing\u201d and make your homes a place of prayer, fasting, faith, learning, and glory\u201d (<a title=\"D&amp;C\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lds.org\/scriptures\/dc-testament\/dc\/109.8?lang=eng\">D&amp;C 109:8<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you didn\u2019t feel rejuvenated in hearing Sis. Burton\u2019s talk, please read it again. Remember, the oil of spiritual preparedness cannot be shared. Using President Spencer W. Kimball\u2019s list will help us gather that oil drop by drop, action by action.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ldswomenofgod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Kimball-drops-2.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7479\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ldswomenofgod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Kimball-drops-2-214x300.jpg?resize=214%2C300\" alt=\"Kimball drops 2\" width=\"214\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Kimball-drops-2.jpg?resize=214%2C300&amp;ssl=1 214w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Kimball-drops-2.jpg?resize=731%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 731w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Kimball-drops-2.jpg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 214px) 100vw, 214px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Follow the suggestions offered by Spencer W.

I am a wife, mother of six, and grandmother of six. Besides enjoying my research into the history of the Relief Society, I also read voraciously, make art quilts, and volunteer for too many things. I am also working on a Creative Writing degree from BYU\u2019s online program. Most of all, I have a testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ.","sameAs":["https:\/\/reliefsocietywomen.com","Jan"],"url":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/author\/jtolman\/"}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Virgins-Rane.jpeg?fit=700%2C406&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7478","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7478"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7478\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7480,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7478\/revisions\/7480"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6430"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7478"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7478"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7478"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
