Instructions for doing the Latter-Day Hokey Pokey
by Kayleen Henderson
ü
Put your right foot in: If you put your
right foot in as the gospel requires, you’ll put your best foot forward. You’ll get your foot in a door, ministering as
the spirit directs. If you put your
right foot in, you’ll soon add your left foot so that you can have feet shod
with the preparation of the Gospel (Ephesians 6:15). You can run and not be
weary (D&C 89:20). And the scripture
will be fulfilled that saith “How beautiful are the feet that bringeth good
tidings” (Isaiah 52:7). With both feet in you’ll be able to follow the Prophet,
and stand in holy places (D&C 45:32).
ü
Put your right hand in: With your right hand in you can; sustain, covenant, and
sometimes lead. Soon you’ll wish you had your left-hand in. You’ll need it to; serve, support and lift others.
ü
Put your head in: With your head in, you can
turn the other cheek. With your head in
you can rely on your sound understanding (Alma 17:2). With your head in, you
will search the scriptures, ponder them and turn them all around.
ü
Put your backside in: Once you get
your backside in, you’ll rise up and get going in the strength of the Lord
(Mosiah 10:10). And you will be anxiously engaged (D&C 58:27).
ü
Put your whole self in: With your whole
self in you can serve God with all your heart, might, mind and strength (D&C 4:2). When you are all in, it’s because you
love Jesus Christ and you want to do what he would do.
And “That’s what it’s all about”.
