Women's Broadcast

One of my cousins asked me what thoughts "zinged into my heart during the Womens Conference". I had taken a small notebook to write down what I felt the Lord might want me to hear. You are all lucky enough to get these gems that were meant specifically for me.

Okay, here goes:

Our homes should be sacred sanctuaries from the world. I just blew that one with Matt tonight as I yelled at him. .........Overs.

We as women need to be powerful spiritual leaders especially at this time in the world. Another one to keep trying on.

With out personal revelation we cannot succeed and with it we cannot fail. Great words, someday I hope to be in tune enough to not fail.

We have to be quiet enough to hear the Holy Ghost and it takes serious mental effort. Then on occasion inspiration will come. I'm pretty good on the occasionally part. Real occasionally!

As women we need to act in accordance to the sympathies that exist in our bosoms. I do have those in between the being mad times!

We need to focus on what we have accomplished.

The way to overcome discouragement ( and this was very interesting to me ) was to create and be compassionate. I create all the time. I try to create an atmosphere of peace in the office at school, I try to uplift all that come in. I try to keep an organized area around me. I enjoy creating crafts of all kinds. At home, creating is a little more difficult for me. I actually do have my priorities right in my heart but I can't seem to make it work yet.

The definition of Creating something is to create something that did not exist before and make it a thing of beauty.

We need to ignore the voice of critics both from without and within.

Start small, Identify a space and beautify it. Cultivate where you are so that the angels will delight to come and visit your place.

The more we serve the more substance there is to our souls.

As unbelievable as we feel this saying is, it's true, "work will cure your grief."

That's one of the reasons I'm grateful for a job I like right now. Working at home doesn't always feel successful but I can make the school I work at a better place. I hope I can make children that may never feel approval from anyone else, feel it from me. I can create a feeling of approval and love in primary too. That's another place I feel like I can make a difference.
I love my Grandchildren and try to be the best Grandma for them I can be and try to create a happy Grandma home.
I love my children. I'm not always sure how to help them, but they are grown and very able, capable people. I'm proud of the good people they are. I feel like they kind of created themselves and did a good job! Any help I gave was given with much love ..if not skill.

The Savior didn't seek for any high position. He didn't really care what others thought. He simply listened and tried to help.

The number of prayers we say will not be as important as the number of other peoples prayers we answer.

Those who bring sunshine to others cannot help but have sunshine surround themselves.

That's it, that's all that’s written in the book. I've read it to Ky once, written it to my cousin once and have now included it on my blog. That way maybe I'll remember it for a while!

Life's good. They say if we didn't have this life we'd never learn what we need to. Life forces us to learn, I've found it's easier when we accept the learning times without whining. I have to smile when I say that because it's definitely something I work on all the time!
