Day 45: Handout from YW

"If one does not appreciate holy things, he will lose them. Without a feeling of reverence, he will grow increasingly casual in attitude and lax in conduct." --Elder Todd Christofferson, 7 Nov 2004

This is interesting to me because it seems to say that the holiness of a thing is almost entirely due to our attitude toward it. Or at the very least, the holiness of a thing is our responsibility.

I can appreciate that fact, though. How I perceive something in my own mind, has a lot to do with whether it can affect me or not. I must remember that this reverence for the holy is my responsibility and not be lax in my efforts.
