We all have to eat in order to live, but of all the relationships we have in our lives, the majority of us have a very unhealthy relationship with the food we eat. We are constantly labeling foods as either “good” or “bad” and if we eat certain foods that do things to our body, then we also must be “good” or “bad”. But Heavenly Father doesn’t love us based on the foods we eat or the size of our bodies. Worth has nothing to do with body shape or if we look good in the latest fashion style.

Are both men and women instructed to study Doctrine and Covenants, Section 84? Dr. Gardner teaches how the Oath and Covenant of the Priesthood involves responsibilities and blessings that don’t vary for men and women and we are reminded, as the early Saints were, that we are willing to take upon ourselves the name of Christ at baptism and we take upon ourselves His name in the temple and men and women both can receive all the blessings our Heavenly Parents have for their children.
