Everybody's Got To Have A Body

"In the premortal realm, spirit sons and daughters knew and worshiped God as their Eternal Father and accepted his plan by which his children could obtain a physical body..."

"The great principle of happiness consists in having a body."

-The Prophet Joseph Smith

When we take care of our bodies, we experience joy.

When we neglect or mistreat these sacred gifts from God, we experience pain and sorrow.

A key to experiencing happiness, then, is knowing how to take care of our physical bodies.

I appreciate the talk given by Boyd K. Packer called

"Ye Are the Temple of God"

In it, he gives some frank and specific counsel on how we are to regard our bodies.
