General Conference April 2014

Inspiration and Revelation from General Conference

Don’t you just love General Conference! It’s a time of joy! Not just because we can spend a whole weekend in our PJ’s and still be spiritual, but because of the feeling we get when we hear that perfect talk that we swear was given just for us. For me, that was President Bednar’s talk!

As Monday after conference comes, I thought I would share some of the light bulb thoughts that went on inside my head this weekend. Of course, everything for me is very personal and meant to boost me. Don’t judge. I would love to hear what your moments of light were about and how you plan on putting them to work in your families.

Here goes:

·        People want God’s who do not demand much

·        Sinful thoughts can get me in just as much trouble.  Be aware!

·        We are called on to bear on another’s burdens-especially in our family. It’s the small things we do-without complaining-that make us disciples of Christ

·        If Christ can ask the Father to forgive those soldiers of their actions-while they are in the process of killing him-I can forgive others who wrong me…no matter how small or how badly I want to hold on.

·        Nothing should take precedence over the relationship between man and wife, except the relationship with the Savior.

·        Stop watching shows you know you shouldn’t. Netflix won’t get you into heaven.

·        Set a family plan with rules about how electronics are going to be used in our home. If you fail to plan you plan to fail.

·        The greatest filter comes from a testimony of the Savior

·        Family History work offers protection to my family from temptation.

·        The world will not glide calmly toward the Second Coming. Prepare for that.

·        After all we can do, our Faith in Christ will justify our hopes

·        Destructive words can take a hazardess situation and make it fatal

·        Find things to be grateful for in the midst of trials, not afterward. Blessing await if you do.

·        Gratitude fosters empathy toward others. I need to work on having empathy

·        Study Preach My Gospel to understand what Justin is working with and to help understand him better when he comes home

·        Ask myself-What can I do to help others succeed during their 4 minutes

·        Happiness is not the absence of a load-it’s the load that is keeping me on the straight and narrow path.

Of course she is learning...can't you tell?

So these are just a few insights that came to my mind. I would love to know yours. Please comment and share as you feel inclined to!!
