Brain dump

Britton Wright

Come follow me

Love
Patience
Obedience

Are among the attributes that come as you use your agency properly. They cone on a mission.

We see the power of the atonement when things go wrong, and at that time we end up spending more time on our knees cause we NEED "Our Only Hope"

Gospel purpose is to turn bad man good  and good men better.

This is a fufillment of Ether 12:6

It is impossible to emulate someone we do not know.

The Savior, in the most desolate times he turned outward..

A man accepted and preached the gospel to literally everyone. He even taught  someone while waiting for an appointment to begin.

Making and keeping sacred covenants is THE most important thing.

I am a Child of God changed to "teach me all that I must DO" from "KNOW" it is not enough to know, but we must do what we know.

We need to keep eternal perspective, but what is Eternal Perspective, when we do not even know what the afterlife will be.

Almost...

God is not only is aware of us  but knows us each by name, as we learn in Joseph smith's vision.

Family responsibilities -

You  realize that you are less in control of what a child does as you have more.

Father's need to come to game.

Mother is Moral compass, but not entirely.

No matter what a mother teaches a child they will do what their father does.

Parents ought to share duties exactly the same. They have the same responsibility.

Father ought to spend time with each child.

Story of girl who listened to her mother instead  of what is right.

When a child acts evil. Likely it is not Heavenly Father's  influence so alogn the child.

If you as a parent do your best, someone is going to interfere but, do not see a snapshot.

Loving family doesn't happen by accident.

10 to 12 stake conference.
Nov 4 simple bread and toilet paper stove.

[Howard W. Hunter] Gave free legal advice because he hated dealing with the billing.

Calling people by name and just being aware of them is a great service.

We have a touchstone to measure our personal christ like attributes.

Maybe if it is difficult to love, it is you who is difficult.

If you judge someone you do not havevtime to love them. But, there is something to love in everyone.

Story of Thomas S. Monson told story at a regional conference, and he told a story
About praying for a man who was difficult to love.

Can put your own name on the prayer roll to have your own heart softened.

Another way to love a difficult someone, serve them.

Need to be kinder and gentler.

*** FHE ****
If children speak gently with one another.
Maybe count to 5. Try to learn to know what they are going through.

***Keep your bucket full so that you can share with others *** like a flight attendent says to secure your mask first.
