May the Fourth be with You

In honor of May the fourth take a moment and think back to that scene in one of the Star Wars movies when Han Solo is about to be frozen by the dark side and Princess Leiah calls out to him in desperation and says "I love you!" and Han Solo responds "I know".

Do our actions to the ones we love show how we feel about them?

Today in the third hour of church where the women meet together we read Alma 37:6:
 "Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise."

It is the everyday small actions that speak loud words to the ones who love us.

In one of my favorite love songs there is a line that says "more than words to show me how you feel then you wouldn't have to say that you love me, cause I'd already know".


No wonder Christ has said "If ye love me keep my commandments". (John 14:15)

Our actions speak louder than words!
President Monson quoted a poem in this past General Conference that goes:
I have wept in the night
For the shortness of sight
That to somebody’s need made me blind;
But I never have yet
Felt a tinge of regret
 For being a little too kind

This week let us be a little more kind, showing our love through word and action, then the ones we love like Han Solo can say "I know" when we tell them we love them.

May the Fourth be with You!

  1. Love this! To be true disciples of Christ we must be His hands. We show Him that we love Him by loving and serving others. Thank you for the reminder!
