Trevor and I have been trying to do better at having family home evening together. It's become a bit of a challenge because I am obsessed with the power pump class at the gym that is Monday/Wednesday nights at 7 and Trevor now has class from 7:30-10 pm every Monday night. Even with a busy schedule we have tried to at least have a short lesson. It's been so amazing; the small and simple things really make such a difference. I feel especially close to Trevor when we are talking about the Gospel. It reminds us of our common goal to become more like our Savior and return to Him.
Since we were in St. George (post to come) during the General Relief Society Broadcast I recorded it and watched it when I got home. I sat in my living room with many tears as I was spiritually fed. I loved the reminder to be more charitable, that charity envieth not and suffereth long and thinking not of her own. I am going to try harder to be a more charitable woman. I am filled with love for the Relief Society. I have been reading the book given to us by the Relief Society called, "Daughters in His Kingdom" I find myself not wanting to put it down because I am learning so much and feeling so uplifted. I feel such a power in the Relief Society, that as sisters we have a huge responsibility upon us to work together to strengthen our families and homes and to then help those around us in whatever ways we possibly can. I know that the Relief Society organization was inspired from our loving Heavenly Father who knows we can do and be more than we might think.
I am so looking forward to this weekend's General Conference. I look forward to being edified and uplifted as I listen to the leaders of our church. Lounging, munching, and spending time with family is a plus, too :)
