Yesterday I gave the lesson in family home evening. Part of my lesson was about the word of wisdom. We read D&C section 89. I learned so much from my own lesson. The word of wisdom says first, don't drink alchohol, beer and wine. Second, mostly eat grain and wheat. It also says to mostly eat it when you were hungry. It also says eat meat sparingly especially during the cold months. Then it says that humans should eat grains and wheat and that beasts (animals) should eat grains too. It also says that fruit is good for you too. I thought it was interesting which is listed what each kind of animal should eat. And if you obey the word of wisdom you will receive these blessings: you shall have a healthy body. You shall be happy. You shall live a long life and the destroying angel shall pass you by. You shall wisdom and great treasures of knowledge.Some people don't understand how much the word of wisdom blesses us. People should be grateful for the word of wisdom because it gives us all the blessings listed above and sometimes more.
Something that is interesting about the word of wisdom is that Heavenly Father gave us these commandments before doctors found out how bad beer alchohol and tobacco were for our bodies. That makes me know that he gave us that commandment so that we could be happy. All his commandments make us happy.
