Another wonderful day of General Conference today! Some of the talks were truly answers to many prayers I have had lately....now whether I actually go and DO the things I know I should now...well that gets hard sometimes doesn't it? I am sure going to try though! I so want to be a better person. I want to be happy and friendly to everyone around me at all times.....it just gets a little tricky when you are consistently friendly to consistently mean people.....eventually you would rather bang your head against a brick wall then TRY anymore...but that isn't exactly what Christ's teachings tell you to do! LOL So say a little prayer for me my blog readers that I might be able to try and succeed! I have already had such wonderful success with one such person this past year...what a happy moment it was for me when, after trying and trying and trying to be nice to this person (who I often referred to my husband as the "ice queen") she FINALLY asked me how I was doing...it made me so happy to hear those words come out of her mouth! I used to think "well, I broke my arm maybe she will wonder how that is going" nope...then Daisy died, but she hates animals so it was no surprise when there was no hint of sympathy when I would tell Daisy's story in front of her. Then I had my cancer scare and had to get my tonsils out, nothing. So I just kept it about HER and asked about HER each time I saw her. I grew to not feel so hurt or sad that she didn't SEEM to care about what I had been through in months past (because honestly that was selfish of me anyways). And so finally one day after asking her many questions and really getting to know HER better, I finally got "and how are you doing?" it was a great happy moment for me and hopefully a good teaching moment for someone else who reads this.
But back to General Conference, so wonderful and Joel was able to sit and listen each time President Monson talked. It was so nice to be in one place as a family all weekend and have the boys playing so lovingly together each day. Of course there were moments where Mommy and Daddy had to play referee, but not that many and it made today that much sweeter!
SPEAKING of sweeter those cinnamon rolls were AMAZING today! So delicious and a perfect pair with conference! When the first speaker of the morning was over, we took a couple of plates to our neighbors. It has become a nice tradition to share our rolls with our neighbors AND this way they too know when General Conference is for our church! Maybe some day they will want to turn it on and watch with mouths full of sugary, buttery, goodness. What a happy thought that is! So today was full of happy memories and learning many happy things. I am grateful for my Savior, Jesus Christ. I am so grateful I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and that I can share my joy with others. It is a wonderful thing to KNOW of a place where you can find peace and happiness in this world. Have a happy week all!
