In the Morgan 5th Ward Relief Society this year our first lesson of the month focuses on the attributes of our Savior, Jesus Christ. For the month of July the attribute is diligence. What is diligence? The dictionary defines it as “constant and earnest effort to accomplish what is undertaken.” It is impossible to view diligence without seeing work. The two go hand in hand. If we are striving to follow the Savior, we are putting forth steady, consistent, earnest, and energetic effort to do His work.
In reflecting upon the freedoms that we are blessed to enjoy in this country, the month of July gives us a special opportunity to ponder and express gratitude for the men and women who labor with diligence to preserve those freedoms that we celebrate as we gather with our families to attend parades and celebrations. May we take the time to sincerely thank our Father in Heaven and thank those who serve and sacrifice for their understanding of diligence and their willingness to exercise it daily in our behalf.
Love,
