Conference Gems

The first weekend of October, we got to listen to 2 days worth of General Conference. We had the privilege to hear from the Prophet and other Church leaders. General Conference happens twice each year, and it is always such a refreshing and uplifting time. I get reminded of my blessings and also of things that I need to work on to become better. Here are a couple of my favorite little conference gems.

President Thomas S. Monson told a story about a father who asked his children each night at dinner: "What did you do for someone today?" (what a great way to help your children learn to love and serve others!)http://lds.org/conference/talk/display/0,5232,23-1-1117-27,00.html

Elder David A. Bednar
3 Ways to Become More Dilligent and Concerned in Our Homes:
1. Express love and show love
2. Bear testimony and live it
3. Be consistent

President Henry B. Eyring
-We can and must expect to become better as long as we live
-Love is the motivating principle with which the Lord leads us
-"The greatest joys and the greatest sorrows we experience are in family relationships. The joys come from putting the welfare of others above our own. That is what love is. And the sorrow comes primarily from selfishness, which is the absence of love."http://lds.org/conference/talk/display/0,5232,23-1-1117-22,00.html
