Unity

For our activity this week, the Beehive Class Presidency decided to work on creating more unity within our class. Each member of our wonderful class presidency came up with a game centered on creating unity or getting to know one another.

Kelli had us play I have never, Sariah came up with a game which spotlighted everyone in attendance, and Crystal had us play Uno Spin-it. For Ashley's game we tied balloons to our waste and using newspaper bats popped the other players balloons. We learned that we need to build people up, not bring them down.

Elder Henry B. Eyring of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles said:

"You have seen evidence, as I have, that we are moving toward becoming one. The miracle of unity is being granted to us as we pray and work for it in the Lord’s way. Our hearts will be knit together in unity. God has promised that blessing to His faithful Saints whatever their differences in background and whatever conflict rages around them. He was praying for us as well as His disciples when He asked His Father that we might be one.

The reason that we pray and ask for that blessing is the same reason the Father is granting it. We know from experience that joy comes when we are blessed with unity. We yearn, as spirit children of our Heavenly Father, for that joy which we once had with Him in the life before this one. His desire is to grant us that sacred wish for unity out of His love for us."

As we all make a conscious effort to increase the unity within our class, young women and families, we will be blessed with our desire.
