Life is for Loving: Hike to the Park

Hike to the Park

Tobey was so kind to think of me today and bring the girls over for a visit. We had spaghetti and then hiked through the "secret path" to the park. We saw lots of flowers, bunnies and squirrels. It was a win win win. Tobey and Melyssa had a nice dinner, the girls had dinner, a trip to the park, popcorn and part of a movie, and I loved being with these beautiful children.
Everyone was happy!

"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."
