-In what ways can I make the sacrament more meaningful each week? What can I do to redirect my attention and my mind on things that are important?
-What is so symbolic of Christ breaking the bread why do we cut bread today and not break it?
-We are to partake of the sacrament "in remembrance" so that we "always remember" him. (3 Nephi 18:11) I don't thin we truly understand how important this commandment is. It is not only important for us to live but to improve on each and every day especially as we partake of the sacrament each week. We should as we partake of the sacrament each week recommit ourselves to remember Christ in our lives and to live accordingly.
I have always had questions about the wine vs the grape juice this is a good explanation;
Christ also contrasted the wine he drank at the last supper with the grape juice which he will drink with the righteous in the kingdom of God, But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom (Matt 26:29, italics added). The new fruit of the vine is grape juice; the old fruit of the vine is wine. Other scriptures which speak of grape juice are as follows: Deut 32:14, Mark 14:25, Lu 22:18, DC 27:5, and DC 89:16.

-When we partake of the Sacrament we are filled in more ways than one, one way we are not filled in eating a feast or a lot of food. We are filled more with the spirit in a more spiritual way when we partake of the sacrament than we are physically. I am so thankful for the spiritual experiences and the revelation I have received during sacrament meeting and when I am seeking for answers, guidance, and revelation.
Blessing- I am able to have so many reminders and so much guidance to keep me on the straight and narrow path.
