Walk with Christ Day 1

Our Relief Society for our December Enrichment Activity decided to do a two week Walk with Christ. Different members of the RS Board took an assignment to write a thing about a part of the Saviors life. Then we put it all together in a book and were asked to do one page each day until the activity on December 9. Here is the entry for Day 1.
Day 1
Jesus Christ – Always Remember Him
Prayer: Each week on Sunday we have the privilege and blessing to renew our baptismal covenants. We promise to always remember Him in exchange for the blessing of having His spirit with us. As you kick off your walk with Christ – sincerely pray to remember him more often, improve your relationship with Him, and take full advantage of having His spirit to be with you..
Hymns: “I Need Thee Every Hour” Hymns, page 98
“ He Sent His Son” Children’s Songbook, page 34
“If the Savior Stood Beside Me” Friend Oct 1993, page 14)

Scripture: 2 Nephi 25: 26, 3 Nephi 27:27, 3 Nephi 18:7, 11, Moroni 10:32-33
And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know what source they may look for a remission of their sins.
Thought: Thoughts of Jesus (should) be far more frequent and much more constant in all times and seasons of our lives. How often do we think of the Savior? How deeply and how gratefully and how adoringly do we reflect on His life? How central to our lives do we know Him to be? (Howard W. Hunter, Ensign, May 1993)
When you choose to follow Christ, you choose to be changed. . . . Can human hearts be changed? Why, of course! It happens every day . . . It is one of the most widespread of Christ's modern miracles. If it hasn't happened to you—it should. (Ezra Taft Benson, “Born of God,” Ensign, Jul 1989, 2)

Questions to Ponder / Personal Application
If you could see the Savior standing by your side, throughout the day, would there be a change in you?
Would you have more courage, show more kindness, be more humble, be more careful of the words you use.
What would you have to change to be comfortable in His presence?
How can I follow in Christ’s steps today?
In all my decisions today I will ask, “What would Christ do?”

Action: In your daily activities, think about how you can focus more on Christ.
Hang the word “REMEMBER” in a place in your home that you often look. Every time you read it, evaluate yourself and how you are doing in remembering the Savior. Is there anything that you need to change?
Spend time over the next two weeks diligently learning about Christ and how to become more like Him.
Other References:

Spend time searching out articles and quotes on Christ at www.lds.org. If possible, take the opportunity to watch Special Witnesses of Christ.

I have done the action suggested and added a picture of the Savior to the word "remember" I will put this by my computer because I am at the computer every day several times during the day.
