And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ......2 Nephi 25:26

In the Old Testament I read some advice about how to treat the property of others. If we find something that someone else has lost, we need to return it to them or hold it in trust until they come seeking after it. And if an animal that belongs to someone else falls down, we need to lift it up. We need to treat other people's property with respect and do with it what we would want someone to do with our own property. I've had instances in my life when I've lost items that were valuable to me and someone turned them in to lost and found or made sure I got them back How grateful I was for other people's honesty! And then there have been times when I've found items belonging to someone else, and what a joy it was to be able to return them to their rightful owners. One out of town woman who had left her purse in a restroom had tears in her eyes she was so thankful to get it back in tact. Another woman who I went to a lot of trouble to track down to return a box of irreplacable items that had fallen off a truck as she was moving said I had restored her faith in people. I think the Lord sometimes has lead me to find various items because He knew I'd return them. How gratifying this can be! And when people have offered me a reward I've told them, "The only reward I want is that if you ever find something that belongs to someone else, you'll likewise return it to them, just as people have done to me in the past. Pass on the favor." I think this is just part of the Golden Rule to do to others as you would have others do to you. Deut. 22:1-4 "Thou shalt not see thy brother’s ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother. And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again. In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of thy brother’s, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself. Thou shalt not see thy brother’s ass or his ox fall down by the way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift them up again."

In the Book of Mormon I read that we need to look to Christ for a remission of our sins, and we need to teach this to our children. We need to talk of Christ, preach of Christ, and rejoice in Christ. We need to make Christ the center of our lives. 2 Ne. 25: 26 "And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins."

A verse from a thought booklet tells us that Paul prayed that the people's love would abound more and more and that their knowledge and judgment would increase. This is something we could all pray for ourselves, esepcially that we'll grow in our love for others. The gospel is about love. Philip. 1: 9 "And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;"
