General Conference

This session (all of them) of General Conference were especially touching to me.  I'm not sure exactly why some conferences I seem to be more in tune with and others I have a hard time, but this time it was so special for me.

First there were several talks about how special the family is.  I thought of my family - my immediate family and how very precious they are to me and how I would do anything to protect this family.  Then I realized I need to be doing more to be kind, gentle and loving to my family.  I need to show them my affection and love more often (and not just take it for granted that they know I love them and do everything for them).  Then I thought of my extended family and how I wish, hope and pray that Sandy's life improves and she will be safe from harm or accident.  I also pray for Kirstie to come back to church and feel the love the Savior has for her (and Johnny).  I thought of my dad and Alison - I so hope he feels better soon and can find his way back to church on Sundays.

I thought of Jessica and Tate starting their cute little family on June 6th.  How very blessed we are to have such a wonderful daughter and that she has found an outstanding young man to marry for all time and eternity!

There were talks about all the subject that usually are at conference but this time it just seemed like a plee to be more kind, more loving and more helpful to others around us.  To be good missionaries and good neighbors.
