One of my favorite scriptures is found in Ether 12:27, " And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me, and have faith in me then will I make weak things become strong unto them." I am working on many things that I would like to become stronger in. This week I managed to make four laps in a row jogging at the rec. center. That may not be impressive for a younger person, but at my age its pretty good. My goal is to be able to jog a mile before the year is out. I'm noticing that I'm feeling better for it. I'm working on keeping my kitchen table cleared off and I am improving. I'm striving to do my callings, not just out of duty, but with enthusiasm to show the Lord that I am delighted to serve him. I'm trying to improve as a cook, and I am learning to love to cook. I'm striving to improve in areas of my work too. With almost any job you do, if you are always trying to improve, the job becomes more enjoyable.
I was also able to make an improvement in our home. We got a new couch and love seat. I never thought I would have both in the front room, but these are smaller than standard couches and loveseats, so I think it works. I love the way they feel. They fit me nicely.
Hey now -- I think an important decision like new furniture is something you should consult your daughter about. . .Or at least tell her about it over the phone.
