The need to Nourish the good

 

Lessons from nature

 

“Nature does not hurry yet everything is accomplished”

Sermons you act

 

“Children are more influenced by sermons you act than sermons you preach.” -David O. McKay 

We were able to take our 4 oldest children to a session of General Conference for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Before the session began we met a friendly and kind man who was waiting for his wife. His picture happened to be on the wall by where we met him! As a general authority he has spoken in conference before. His greatest sermon was the Christlike way he interacted with our children! We later met Elder Pieper and Elder Taylor who actually spoke in the session we attended. They were all different personalities, stature and conversations but we left them all feeling the love of the Lord through them. They are sermons we will remember for sure. 

Okay in the end

 

Happy day

 

 

“Happy the man, and happy he alone, He who can call to-day his own; He who, secure within , can say: ‘To-morrow, do thy worst, for I have lived to-day.” - Horace, a Roman poet 

Recently I went for a walk with my good friend Joy. As we chatted I mentioned that I live with a lot of fear and anxiety. She recommended I read the book “How to stop worrying and start living” by Dale Carnegie.  The quote above is in this book.  There really is so much joy to be found each day. Little children are so good about being in the moment. Yesterday I got to watch the partial solar eclipse with my daughters kindergarten class. Their joy in just being outside and seeing something new was incredible to them(even though half were looking the wrong direction!) I wish I’d snapped a photo!
