Spiritual Feast

2 Nephi 31:20 Wherefore ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the words of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.

2 Nephi 32:3 Angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore they speak the words of Christ. Wherefore, I said unto you, feast upon the words of Christ: for behold, the words of Christ shall tell you all things what ye shall do.

Austin took this a little too seriously last week... and ate part of Genesis 35, all of Genesis 36 and part of Genesis 37. I don't use my old testament quite as much as some of the other books, so I didn't feel too overwrought about this... there was nothing I could about it at this point anyway, but then I looked to see what he ate. It is the beginning of the story of Joseph of Egypt. I love that story, so I am a bit frustrated about that. I guess that's what I get for leaving my scriptures on the couch after family scripture study. =) And you would think I would learn my lesson... but no... I have found him with my scriptures so many times since. I actually first found part of the page he ate on the initial discovery, and I saved that partial page thinking not only would I actually have a piece of the page rather than completely be missing it, but it would be kind of a nostalgic thing of Austin's babyhood... but in one of those other findings, he found it again and finished it off. Oops! I just hope to keep the rest of my pages intact... and I really should learn my lesson one of these days.
