Although I didnt participate in the online discussion of Babettes Feast, I did watch most of the movie on You-Tube and then read Truman Madsen’s Women’s Conference address given about the sacrament.  It really is beautiful to contemplate the majesty and love that the Savior has for us in providing His atonement and the weekly reminder during Sacrament to always remember Him.  I am gaining a new understanding of the power in the Sacrament ordinance and desiring to draw closer to Him and keep his sacrifice uppermost in my mind.  

Its also beautiful to see how we women can lift and nourish our loved ones through food.  I loved how Babette was so generous and untiring in her service to those somewhat small minded village people when she prepared the meal.  They didnt even realize what a gift she was giving them, maybe only the General understood and appreciated it.  But they all felt the lifting healing power.  Made me realize how much we take the Savior’s daily sustaining influence for granted.  I want to rejoice more often in his divine grace that he so freely offers me.  

Thanks Celestia for suggesting this movie and the link to Truman Madsen’s talk.  Both helped me feel the spirit of the sabbath.
