Change Maker-Week 12

By -
I love reading anything from Elder Holland. He has such a way with words that it makes me want to be better. With his talk that was "Are We Not All Beggars?" I know that I'm a person that needs different things than others. I try to give my things away to others when I no longer need them. People ask do you want me to pay you? My answer is always no. I have been blessed to have a steady job and to be able to buy things. Some of my co-workers don't have those luxuries. Luckily I can help. When I am done with my clothes, since they haven't been used for a that long. I bring in bags full of clothes for them to go through. It makes me feel good that I can impart my substance to others.

The questions from this week's Quiz asked, why is virtue and Integrity important in business? My answer is they are important because they help people be accountable for their actions. We see is all the time with businesses that they end up closing up shop because someone in the business was dishonest and they had to suffer the repercussions of the dishonesty.

The real reason businesses are in existence so that people can create and use their hands. People love to create and make things better. If they didn't we would still be walking or using a house and carriage. We need also business to create economies and jobs.

My Parenting Skills take-away

Self-care- Marion G. Romney said, "without self-reliance one cannot exercise these innate desires to serve. How can we give if there is nothing there? Food for the hungry can't come from empty shelves. Money to assist the needy can't come from an empty purse. Support and understanding can't come from the emotionally starved. Teaching can't come from the unlearned. And most important of all spiritual guidance cannot come from the spiritually weak.  This time in my parenting class I have learned that I need to take more time for the self-care of mom! This is a scary time in the world and if I'm not stocked in faith, hope and courage, how to I expect my children to feel or know where to turn if I don't teach them? I have thought over the many weeks what types of activities am I showing them by my example of filling my oil lamp to be spiritually fed? I have tried to spend more time on my knees praying for strength to get through school, to help my children m...

Running Log #15 This new year I thought I would be better at staying off the soda, chocolate and candy. I had dreams of working out everyday, suffering through the tiredness from waking up in the morning, and endure the cold, the bitter COLD, to get up and run outside. Funny thing about dreams they don't always happen. My dreams were shattered in the middle of the month when the weather turned bitter. And the candy, coke and chocolate were too good to resist. I wanted to change that habit this morning. I went for a run. I was hoping to go longer than a mile or two. And I ended up going FOUR MILES!!!! Along those 4 miles, I felt the pain of not running after three weeks. The cold air burned my lungs and my feet were like ice blocks, screaming at me to stop. I didn't give up, yes I walked a bit but I wasn't upset that I did. I was moving more than I had before. Finally when I was all done I looked at my watch, 4 miles, 58min. Hard, yes! Worth it? TOTALLY! Maybe this new fou...

Being sick wastes my weekend

I don't like being sick. I get sick all the time. Some one gets the slightest cold around me and then I am sick for weeks. I don't understand it. I keep a clean house. There is no mildew, or gross whatever lurking around in my house. I wipe down counters, clean bathrooms.  Sometimes I'm to much of clean freak. I think it's because I don't like being sick.  There were a few people at work that had been sick and now their sickness is on me. Last week, it was a cough that hurt so much that, I may or may not wet my pants. But in all seriousness. I thought that taking out my tonsils would solve my life problem with getting sick. I got a flu shot this year too.  The other thing about being sick that I hate is that I'm home sick and all I can think about is how dirty my house is and that I need to clean it. Laundry needs to be folded, floors swept and mopped. bathrooms too.  AAHHHH!!!! (cough, cough) Also I am not a huge fan of cough syrup...
