Next week is the semi-annual General Conference for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In preparation, they held a meeting on Saturday night just for the women. How I love hearing from the prophet and the General Relief Society presidency! I feel very blessed to have access to these wise, faithful people who can offer council that applies to me. What better in this crazy "anything goes" world than to hear sensible, inspiring, relevent advice for navigating it all!
The following are my favorite quotes, all from President Thomas S. Monson's talk. Simple concepts, but I always need the reminder:
"If you judge people, you have no time to love them."
"I consider charity -- or the pure love of Christ -- to be the opposite of criticism."
"Life is perfect for none of us. Rather than being judgmental and critical of each other, may we have the pure love of Christ for our fellow travelers in this journey through life. May we recognize that each one of us is doing her best to deal with the challenges which come her way. And may we strive to do our best to help out."
