Elder Kent D. Watson gave a fantastic talk called “Being Temperate in All Things” in the Saturday afternoon session of General Conference. It is a short talk, but a fresh and powerful message. I don’t think I’d ever given the word temperance much thought before, but I will now.
“Security for our families comes from learning self-control, avoiding the excesses of this world, and being temperate in all things. Peace of mind comes from strengthened faith in Jesus Christ. Happiness comes from being diligent in keeping covenants made at baptism and in the holy temples of the Lord.”
Study the talk and let me know what temperance means to you— in your life. You can read it, or watch it, or listen. Countdown to next General Conference (and springtime) is on . . .
