I felt inspired to have a FHE Monday on Self Control. We discussed that one of Heavenly Father’s greatest gifts to us is our freedom to act for ourselves. Without that freedom, we could never develop self-control, instead we would be controlled by forces outside of ourselves. We talked about choosing to do our chores and homework instead of play. We also discussed that we can’t change other people, but we can control how we react to what other people are doing. Then we showed no self-control at all while making and eating Halloween sugar cookies.
Can I tell you how MUCH I love seeing your blog. I wait up so you have several days listed – then I feast on your fun. You are such a good mother and I totally relate with your chorister calling. My painful calling was YW Pres. Holy Cow! How do you teach girls to be civil to each other. Hardest thing I ever did. Love you and your beautiful family.
