Good Treats & Good Reading

Tonight we had to run to WalMart to get a few groceries.  I saw this bag of Turtles, and knew we had to get it for Dad.  He LOVES these things.

This little note was written in Autumn’s reading calendar tonight and she was just beaming.  I am so proud of her for graduating to her “1st chapter book.”

I did some good reading of my own tonight before bed.  THIS talk entitled “Living A Life of Peace, Joy, and Purpose” from Elder Richard G. Scott was in the Ensign this month.  It was an excellent talk & I was underlining so many things.  He gives a list of 10 specific things to help us be successful in life:

1. Establish a set of principles by which you will guide every aspect of your life—in your home, in your Church service, in your profession, in your community.
2. Don’t make exceptions to your standards.
3. Be loyal.
4. Live so that the Lord can guide you to where He wants you to be and to serve.
5. Serve others.
6. Smile.
7. Don’t complain.
8. Always have a Church assignment.
9. Go to the temple.
10. Use the Savior Jesus Christ as your example for life.
