Three More Days

Abby is excited to go to California. She is telling everyone! We were walking out of Costco and she said to the lady checking our receipt, "I am going to California." Then as we were walking to the car she said, "I'm not scared to say that because I'm too excited!" She keeps asking me how many more days until she gets to go. (She just asked me again while I'm typing this.) She also keeps giving me hugs good-bye. We were playing with Spencer and she said to me, "Mom will you save some of Spencer's smiles for me while I'm in California?" She is really looking forward to going.

"Real charity is not something you give away; it is something that you acquire and make a part of yourself. Charity comes when we are kind to each other; when we don't judge someone else; when we simply give each other the benefit of the doubt or REMAIN QUIET. Charity is accepting someone's differences, weaknesses and shortcomings, having patience with someone who has let us down or resisting the impulse to become offended when someone doesn't handle something the way we might have hoped. Charity is expecting the best of each other"
(Elder Marvin J. Ashton, Conference April 1992).

"Charity is not an emotion or action. It is not something we feel or do. Charity is who the Savior is. It is his most defining characteristic. When we plead for charity, we aren't asking for lovely feelings toward someone who bugs us or has wounded us. We are actually pleading for our very natures to be changed; for our character and disposition to become more like the Savior's so that we literally feel as He would feel and thus do what He would do."
