Today's Thought

"Neither Satan nor any other power can weaken or destroy your growing character. Only you could do that through disobedience. That is why Satan is so intently focused on tempting you to make decisions that will undermine your character. Satan is an accomplished master at making devastating choices appear attractive, even reasonable. So be careful. At this critical time of life you will be faced with many choices. The decisions you will make will profoundly affect life now and for eternity. Make them wisely and prayerfully."

Conference Weekend

I LOVE Conference Weekend!!

(Even though I have been sick since Friday and Doran had to work Saturday all day and Sunday morning.
Bright side...we will watch it again together!)

A few weeks ago we were able to get 3 tickets for Saturday afternoon session.
Well Doran ended up having to work that day so I told Cortney to find a friend and I would meet them in SLC. I would then follow her home and stay with her for the night and fix breakfast with her and her friends Sunday morning. Then I would head home after the morning sessions and get home about the same time dad did.

Friday I was sick and hoping to get better by Saturday morning but that did not happen.
I knew the Sister Missionaries were going so I called them just after 6:00 am. Good thing I didn't wait until 6:30 or they would have been gone.
They were already outside waiting for their ride so I threw some slippers on and ran the tickets over to them so they could take them to Cortney.
I sent Cortney a text telling her to call me as soon as she got up.
When she did I told her to find another friend because I couldn't go.

As I sat in my jammies all day Saturday curled up on the couch with some juice and a blanket I thoroughly enjoyed conference.

I love the talks,
inspiration,
guidance,
spirit and humor.

What a wonderful way to spend a sick weekend.

We then had mom and Stan, Chelsea and her family and Sarah and Ben over for dinner.
I warned them all that there would be no kisses from grandma today and if they wanted to chance coming over I had dinner in the crockpot.
Cortney and Camri was not able to make it.
That is why we had our real "Easter Family Dinner" Friday night.

One of my favorite sayings this conference is:

Marriage is a gift from God to us.
The quality of marriage is our gift to God.

I also LOVE listening to President Monson tell stories from when he was a boy.
The fire and weeds story was good!

Need more?
You can pick from many talks. There was something good in EVERY ONE of them!


What was your favorite talk or saying?
