Favorite Days

Don’t you just love listening to a fabulous motivational speaker–you know, someone who inspires you to work hard…

to be a better person?

I do. In fact, I bet I have close to a hundred such speeches on cassette tapes. I know…I’m old. But they still work.

We are a lucky bunch because twice a year we get to hear from our favorite Church Leaders in a series of Conference sessions for a couple of days.

We even use the days of inspiration as a lovely excuse to set out wonderful food…

and gather the sweet kids around, while we watch and listen together.

Of course it takes some  very special “lion taming” supplies in case we encounter any wild animals.


Yeah, it happens.

But mostly, it’s the sheer fun of being together while we laugh and sew and listen hard and take notes on how to do things just a little bit better.

But seriously, all that food never hurts.

October Conference

“Our being edified at conference depends on us.  It becomes necessary that we prepare our hearts to receive and profit by the suggestions that may be made by the speakers during the progress of the conference, which may be prompted by the Spirit of the Lord.  I have thought, and still think, that our being edified does not so much depend upon the speaker as upon ourselves.”

October General Conference

{ Smiles }

“What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. They are but trifles, to be sure but, scattered along life’s pathway, the good they do is inconceivable.”

~ Joseph Addison

{ True Strength }

 “I have always found that when we do the little things correctly, the Lord gives us the strength to accomplish big things… You might not always understand the reasons for some rules or commandments, but if you will follow them even in the little things you will have more strength to do big things… And you will have the great blessing of knowing that you are on the Lord’s side and that He is on yours.”

–Donald L. Hallstrom
