We watched a clip about the “Candy Bomber” and how he emphasized happiness comes when you live outside yourself. We were able to share Briggs’ example decorating Cliff’s door not only made his day, but that made Briggs happy and will be a memory that lasts way longer than what presents he gets for Christmas this year.

What is your love really if it’s only during good times? You know the spirit is in charge when you learn as you teach.

Christ’s parable of the talents has come to my mind several times reminding me that it’s important to try and to not settle. The results don’t matter that much, but your approach and effort does.

I wanted to remember this good analogy. The last part was something new to me recently so I didn’t want to forget that part.

We started being more intentional in small things by starting to say morning family prayers. We need more consistent positive things happening in our lives right now, and I’m already seeing lift from it. But this is really a long term play that will be so good.

Last night I had some tender mercies in receiving some strong assurances of two parts of my patriarchal blessing that I feel I must record to always remember and not forget.

Giving Thanks truly is a remedy for all the ills today. So simple and so powerful.

We were challenged today by the living prophet to post something we #givethanks for everyday for 7 days in a row. Gratitude is the remedy we need so badly with today’s pandemics of which COVID-19 is just one.

Clay Christensen has impacted a lot of people for good. I want to learn how to approach things and interact better with others like he did. I’m excited to learn more from him but more importantly apply it and have better impact on individual lives, specifically with my family.

Don’t hold yourself back. Dream big. Go get it. Enjoy every moment.
