They are the ones who, thread by daily thread, weave a tapestry of gratitude and wonder throughout their lives. “…The happiest people I know are…those who, while in pursuit of worthy goals, discover and treasure the beauty and sweetness of the everyday moments. Our Heavenly Father is most pleased when we sacrifice something good for something far greater with an eternal perspective…” Third, forget not to be happy now. How can we tell the difference for our own situation? We can ask ourselves, “Am I committing my time and energies to the things that matter most?” There are so many good things to do, but we can’t do all of them.

“…Every person and situation is different, and a good sacrifice in one instance might be a foolish sacrifice in another. As a result, we never celebrate our good efforts because they seem to be less than what someone else does…” Second, forget not the difference between a good sacrifice and a foolish sacrifice. This drives us to create expectations for ourselves that are impossible to meet. And yet we spend so much time and energy comparing ourselves to others-usually comparing our weaknesses to their strengths. Let me add: God is also fully aware that the people you think are perfect are not. “…I want to tell you something that I hope you will take in the right way: God is fully aware that you and I are not perfect.

(’cause he knows how to talk to the LADIES it’s true) Below, I put the parts that stuck out to me…please read it! This is one to save and read over and over when you need it. Ha! So I brought over some flowers with some highlighted parts of the talk. I went through every talk, and then…of course the right one for them was the LAST one. For visiting teaching this past month, I tried to pick a good talk from General Conference to share with the ladies I was going to visit.

Forget me not elder uchtdorf
