All I can think of is the cold. I can't seem to get warm. But I still made it out to the fitness center this morning and was able to read the conference talks. Just finished President Monson's talk on Charity that he gave to the sisters in the General Relief Society meeting. I loved his story about the woman who criticized her neighbor's wash every week until the day her husband got up early and washed the windows and then let his wife know. If we criticize we can't love someone. If we love we forgive their mistakes and look with rose tinted glasses at their faults.
Another favorite story of mine is in the January Ensign that is a 40 year favorite of readers. It's the grapefruit story how the young wife reads an article about sitting down as a couple and discussing each others faults. She had plenty to discuss so she got her husband to participate. She brought up all of his and then asked him to bring up all of hers and he said, "Well, to tell the truth, I can't think of anything I don't like about you, Honey." Gasp. I love that. We should all be that way.
Yes, I know I'm not but I have been working to change for a long time and am better about it for the most part. I do know that when I feel Christ's love I feel better about everyone else. I much prefer that feeling and keep working everyday to be better.
