PRIDE

Yesterday at church our 2nd counselor in the Bishopric, Brother Dye talked to us about pride. He quoted some things from President Benson's talk in 1989. Brother Dye then took each letter in the word PRIDE and came up with these thoughts which really hit home and inspired Jeremy and I to do better. This is what he came up with:

                        Pray

                        Repentance

                        Increase temple attendance

                        Do service

                        Example

We are going to work on our PRIDE! 

SLC TEMPLE

THE SLC TEMPLE UP IN THE CLOUDS!

LOVE BRENDA

SILENCE

so true so true so true

"Every life has peaks and shadows and times when it seems that the birds don't sing and bells don't ring. Yet in spite of discouragement and adversity, those who are happiest seem to have a way of learning from difficult times, becoming stronger, wiser, and happier as a result."
~J.B. Wirthlin~

LOVE

"Day to day acts of service
creates chords of love
which can not be broken."
~ Marvin J. Ashton~

An email we received.....HOW TO STAY YOUNG!

HOW TO STAY YOUNG

1. Try everything twice. On one woman's tombstone she said she wanted this epitaph:
Tried everything twice...loved it both times!

2. Keep only cheerful friends.?The grouches pull you down. (keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches)

3. Keep learning: Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain get idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.' And the devil's name is Alzheimer's!

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with HIM/HER.

6. The tears happen: Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. LIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love: Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity. I love you, my special friend.

11. Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second chance.But do share this with someone. Remember! Lost time can never be found.

Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
