Sunday thoughts

So today I taught Rich's Sunday School class. When I got there all the girls were discussing the movie "Twilight" and I told them to not get into to many details because I hadn't seen it yet, and didn't want to hear all about it before I saw it.
So they finished their discussion and we started the lesson. I hadn't known I would be teaching till that morning, and hadn't had a chance to do more than grab the lesson book from the library and glance at the lesson.

The lesson was on Eternal Marriage. Most of the lesson focused on the story of one young woman and how her thoughts and belief in eternal marriage changed throught the course of her own civil marriage and a subsequent pregnancy.

We actually had a great discussion about Eternal Marriage, the Plan of Salvation, and the goal of not only having a Temple Marriage, but having a Celestial Marriage. We talked about some traits and qualities that we see in those around us that can help in achieving a Celestial Marriage. I had a good time and enjoyed teaching the class. I hope the kids were able to take something from the lesson that will stay with them.
