ThOuGhTs...
I'm sitting here writing this procrastinating all of the other things I have to do because I can't stop thinking about the message that my visiting teachers shared with me today. It was one of my favorite talks at this past General Conference and I was so happy that they decided to share this particular message. Elder Joseph B Wirthlin gave the talk and it was so uplifting to me seeing him up there, not even being able to stand and give his talk and he still has the best attitude and wants us all to "Come What May, And Love It!" I think its going to be the new saying for vinyl lettering, but anyway... It just got me thinking about all the times that I get so mad over the little things and when I get after Macee for something she did or when I get after Roger for something he didn't do and how I need to just take what life throws at me and laugh about it and love it. He says in his talk, "If we approach adversities wisely, our hardest times can be times of greatest growth, which in turn can lead toward times of greatest happiness... The first thing we can do is learn to laugh." My adversities and trials are very minimum compared to most but I still need to take them in stride and learn what they are supposed to be teaching me and to "Come What May And Love It!" If you would like to read this talk and be uplifted like I was click HERE!

Well said! Can you please write a thought like that on a weekly basis, so that I can be reminded of those very things!:) BTW, I am not sure if I gave you my e-mail, and I don't want to be left out when you go private. So, it is rickichambers@msn.com
Inspired- we also talked about that same talk for our message this month. I was thinking today about the people who have lost their children or spouse to death or even a handicap and how amazingly lucky I am to have a wonderful husband who provides for our family and three beautiful children that although at times can make me go crazy but for the most part they put joy in my heart. Thanks for the reminder, Holly!!
How ironic! This is the same message we gave to our ladies this month and my VTs gave it to me! Guess all we sisters need this! Makes you think twice!!
