From Jessica

This was a hard subject for me because I have been given so many pieces of wisdom that could improve my life, I just cant seem to apply them.

After much consideration I have decided on one that I feel I have done a half way decent job of putting in to action.

After having my first child everything had new meaning to me. It took me a while to sort out but I learned through trial and error that everything we do, people we associate with, and even our thoughts need to be questioned. So I pose the question to all of those things "Is this of Eternal consequence?"

It has changed my life drastically. I have great friends who uplift me, a love of serving my Heavenly Father, and I am able to see things a little clearer. I can't say by any means that I have perfected it. But it helps keep me on track.

From Bev

Colette, I absolutely love that thought! I also totally agree with it! The older I get, the more I realize that there is wisdom in holding my tongue. There really are so few things worth carping over. I was discussing this with my husband the other night and we decided that often, when small annoyances occur, if we are just patient, the situation usually takes care of itself. There is nothing quite so constant in life as change! Life is too short to spend it upset over the menutiae of life!

Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before, how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way, and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever. All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story or tell a story about them. - Karen Blixen
