Ruthie & I went to Women's Conference last Thursday & Friday.
It was just what I needed.
Seriously folks... I really. really. needed to be there.
Before I went I prayed that I would find some answers to what I need to do to help my family with our current set of trials.
Specific answers please.
Humbled by our current set of trials- I was feeling lowly of heart & ready to learn of what I could do. How I can change & do better.
Well, guess what?
I did receive those answers.
I really did. It was amazing. There were times while listening to speakers when it was like they were speaking specifically to me- like I was the only person in the audience.
I was reminded by the gift of the Holy Ghost-
*that I can only change myself- my attitude- my opinions & choices
*that I needed to recommit myself to what is truly important in my life- God & Family
*that family prayer, scripture study & family home evening need to be of absolute importance- not to be taken lightly or half heartily prepared for.
*that making my home a place of Peace & Love takes effort- and that effort is worth it.
This week I have been working on memorizing all the verses of this song. I sing it to myself throughout the day.
Even though today wasn't Mother's Day- I came home from teaching a class at work- on Sunday
(not cool... especially after all my enlightened women's conference experiences)
to this beautiful roasted chicken, mashed potatoes & gravy & homemade rolls!!!
so today...... I learned that CHLOE rocks - another reminder- because, duh- I already knew that.
It's a good life.
It was great to see you at Women's Conference even though it was such a short visit.
ReplyDeleteI love that hymn and am so glad we learned all the verses in primary a few years ago...it's powerful to sing that. Our music leader would have the kids hold up their palms one at a time each time they sang "He lives" (to show the nail marks in Christ's hands) this was a great way to help them remember the words and a powerful image that is burned on my brain!
I'm so glad that you got the answers you needed. Great reminders to me as well.
ReplyDeleteI can hardly ever sing that hymn without crying! It's powerful.
