Sherri Wright gave this lesson from the Joseph Smith manual on March 15th. Joseph obviously experience much persecution. The lesson relates a story about a day when the Prophet was visiting his parents’ home in Far West. A group of armed militiamen came in and announced that they had come to kill him for a supposed crime. After sitting down and conversing with the men about the beliefs of the church and the trials the church members had gone through, they vowed to never again harm Joseph.
Speaking the truth in a kind, forthright way, Joseph Smith overcame prejudice and hostility and made peace with many of those who had been his enemies.
Question: How can we be a peacemaker in our homes?
We see a huge difference as we observe different mothers and how they react in tense situations. We need to possess these qualities in ourselves, and in our homes before we can be a peacemaker in our community.
Questions to ask yourself: Do you look for pride and selfishness? Or do we look for the positive qualities in others?
Focus on the good, and their positive qualities will overshadow the bad ones.
