Conference

I have been reading my notes and parts of talks and thinking about general conference over the last couple of weeks and thought I'd finally make a few comments on my blog. It's hard to decide on which things to mention - I loved conference and it was all so good!

Elder Ballard's talk, "O Be Wise" had so much good counsel. I appreciated his counsel on not running faster than we have strength and finding balance in our lives.

I liked what Elder Baxter said about the real tragedy was when we allow our trials to get us off course.

I loved Elder Wirthlin's statement about his wife, that she was his greatest joy and her passing was his greatest sorrow. I thought that was so sweet and tender. He gave wonderful words of comfort and peace regarding the trials we face in our lives, ...that we all have "Fridays" but "Sunday" will come.

I liked Sister Dalton's message about living in such a way that when we need immediate blessings we can call upon the Lord and receive them because we are worthy.

Sister Lifferth mentioned some of those basic things that have always been such a strength to our family, such as family prayer, scripture study, and family home evening. I also like what she said about obedience inviting the blessings of the Lord.

So many good things from conference to ponder and put more fully into our lives.
