Sunday Blessings-learning little by little

I am grateful today to learn a little at a time and build on the things I know.  In the doctrine and Covenants section 93, it tells that John the Revelator saw that Jesus Christ "learned grace by grace" and later in the section it says that we too learn in the same way.  What great wisdom there is in our Heavenly Father teaching us this way.  Many things in His gospel teach us where we are.  In other words, the same talk or lesson will speak to us and the spirit will teach us to the degree that we are ready and willing to take in.  Sometimes teaching us things not even mentioned in that particular talk or lesson, but more like a personal lesson using that talk or lesson as a springboard.  The best example is in attending the temple, where we hear the same words every time, but as we grow spiritually, we receive greater knowledge.  Also, as we are seeking knowledge, it seems to come more easily.  Then, looking back on all I didn't know, I realize what a blessing it was for me to learn one thing at a time and build on itself.
