This weekend has been one of definite self-reflection. I LOVED the relief society broadcast last night! These are a few of the things I got from it:

  • THe biggest thing I got from Sister Beck's Talk: Never suppress a generous thought
  • The biggest thing from sister Allred's talk: my relief society attendance will bless me, but my PARTICIPATION in Relief Society will bless the whole church.
  • The biggest thing I got from Sister Thompson's talk: I need to ACCEPT Heavenly Father's love, and by doing that I can love myself and others.
  • The biggest thing I got from President Eyring's talk: Charity Never Faileth!
I have realized this weekend that I have many things to work on about myself as a person, wife, and mother. How can I turn feelings of inadequacy into something motivational?

Well I've made a resolution based on each of the main points I got from the talk last night.
  • Whenever I think something nice about someone else, I'm not going to just keep the thought in my head. I'm just going to say it.
  • I am going to make a real effort to ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE in Relief Society. This includes going to activities, and doing my visiting teaching.
  • I will make a real effort to love others around me and hopefully become less judgmental, cynical, and aggressive.
  • And the last thing I will make an effort to do, is look for ways each day to serve those around me.
If you catch me doing things that are contrary to my goals above, please call me on it! It's going to take a HUGE effort on my part, but these are things that I really want and need to change. Really, I just want to be more like all of you guys! I really look up to you all. LOVE YOU ALL!!!
