Who's in your circle? Your circle of people you can count on in good times and in bad.
Female elephants are a fascinating group of animals. They live in a herd together with mostly just females, one being the herd's matriarch, and the others the daughters.
When a pregnant female is about to give birth, the other females in the herd back in around the mother forming a circle. They create a circle of protection and safety. The mother in the center stands to give birth while being protected from predators in her circle of sisters. This circle of sisters kicks up dirt and dust to cover the scent of new birth and protects the mother and new baby from danger.
We witnessed this with the recent assassination attempt on Donald Trump. A circle of protection formed around him to keep him safe.
There are times we physically do have a circle of support and protection, and times we don't. But even the very thought of this circle can help create the same feeling, safety and security.
In Alma 34 we read about being "encircled them in the arms of safety" of the Savior.
In this episode, we talk about our circles, the support and safety we feel from them, and the fact that we can always take confidence in knowing we are encircled in safety by the Savior.
Listen in for more on our circles!
