Making a Huge Difference

Found a pug to hug in Florida!

This past week we were helping some people to quit smoking. They had expressed some desire to do this and we have a program that we put people on that helps them to stop desiring a cigarette in seven days. It works extremely well but one of the steps to it is getting rid of all smoking materials. 

This couple proceeded to search their house high and low for any smoking materials that they could find. Then we asked them to destroy them. That included crushing the cigarettes in their hands, dumping out "snuff," and throwing away smoking pipes and tobacco rolls. It was really hard for them to give that stuff up, but they did it and knew that what they had done was the right thing. 

It was really inspiring to watch people make that kind of change in their lives. I know that the Word of Wisdom was a commandment given by revelation to Joseph Smith. It is God's law of health for us in our day and will bless each of us if we live it. It's one of the greatest commandments we have because it blesses us physically and temporally. This couple understood that as well and it's making a huge difference in their lives.
