I hate movie maker
I hate converting files

I am under construction
I posted the above yesterday. Today I want to edit that post. I was thinking about my statement, "I am under construction". I meant my blog-of course But it made me ponder:
I truly am under construction as a person, wife, mother, friend, sister, etc.
Aren't we all "under construction"? I truly enjoyed conference this weekend. We heard A LOT about love and service. Those 2 simple things make the world go round. They heal hearts, relationships, and even war torn countries. I too am under construction as I strive to live the principles of the gospel. As I learn faith, as my testimony grows, as I make it more of a priority to love and serve others; I grow and become better. I am thankful for the many resources that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has in place for us to be successful in this life. There is so much to be involved in. There are free valuable resources given to us via internet, church meetings, and our leaders that there is no excuse for us not to have the tools we need to be and do better. I am currently learning the importance of, as well as loving the institution of Family Home Evening. A wonderful sister in Zion has created a blog that has the most amazing FHE lessons on it (for FREE!!!) check it out here
Yesterday I chose striving to serve as our FHE topic since it was so frequently talked about during conference. There are several people that I have been meaning to bake cookies for, write letters to, call on the phone, make a package for, etc, etc. and have just not done it. Yesterday I started on my list. I baked 8 dozen cookies, wrote 2 letters, compiled 2 packages, and talked with people I had been wanting to befriend.
I feel great!
No wonder our Prophet and apostles talked so much about service and love. Not only does it benefit the person you serve, but my children were benefited, and my spirit benefited too. I love Pres Monson's warm fuzzies that a Primary sent him in a jar. What a great idea! Gary's family would do B.I.LY's (Because I Love You) for one another . I have adopted this in our family and with our children. I want to instill in my children the importance of doing good things for each other and other people.
Like I said, I am under construction but I am so excited for the journey and to see the outcome!
