Mum's Day 2012

Kelly took me to dinner and a movie which was very special. I hadn't been to Bandits for a year (since last Mum's Day). Lunch at the Ormes was fun. We had four generations present and it was fun to see some of the cousins together at the table as in days of yore. Kelly said my text to my five daughters was "sappy". Maybe so, but that is who I am; it was from the heart. I truly believe you don't have to have given birth to have a mother's heart. So Happy Mother's Day and God bless us every one!

"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."
