Good Things to Come

I love this video.

It reminded me of A. My life is so good! B. The best is yet to be.

This morning I read the talk "And upon the Handmaids in Those Days Will I Pour Out My Spirit"

And I felt like I was underlining every other line. Some favorite parts were "The ability to qualify for, receive and act on personal revelation is the single most important skill that can be acquired in this life." "Revelation can come hour by hour and moment by moment as we do the right things" "Promised personal revelation comes when we ask for it, prepare for it, and go forward in faith, trusting that it will be poured out upon us" I LOVE that - "Trusting that it will be poured out upon us".

She had a quote from Eliza R. Snow (who lived in the late 1800's) - "Women should be women and not babies that need petting and correction all the time. I know we like to be appreciated but if we do not get all the appreciation which we think is our due, what matters? We know the lord has laid high responsibility upon us, and there is not a wish or desire that the Lord has implanted in our hearts in righteousness but will be realized, and the greatest good we can do to ourselves and each other is to refine and cultivate ourselves in everything that is good and ennobling to qualify us for those responsibilities."

I am inspired to complain less and to work harder at improving myself.
