Knowing That We Know

My thoughts on Elder Callister’s talk “Knowing That We Know”

Living on borrowed light: we have all done it and there are times in our lives when we must rely on others’ light for just a bit to make it through the rough patches. But here is a thought—how many times is that borrowed light your own light? How many rough patches do you get through because you know but are having a trial that makes it difficult to remember it all, but you remember just a bit of that knowledge.

I feel I’m there right now myself. So much has been happening in my own life that I feel like I’m living on my reserves and if I don’t change that I’m going to run out.

Elder Callister says, “The opportunity and responsibility for testimony bearing exist first in the family setting. Our children should be able to remember the light in our eyes, the ring of our testimonies in their ears, and the feeling in their hearts as we bear witness to our most precious audience that Jesus was truly God’s own Son and Joseph was His prophet. Our posterity must know that we know, because we oft tell them.”

When was the last time I told my kids? Family Home Evening is tonight, maybe I change that.
