General Conference was Great!

I really enjoyed the October General Conference sessions and, more importantly, I have learned some new perspectives and been reminded of others. I gained something from each talk, but I think two in particular seemed to reach into my heart at this time. They were both given in the Saturday afternoon session, one after the other.

"Even a Child Can Understand" by Elder Gérald Caussé

"The Way" by Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge

Instruments in the Hands of God

Relief Society General Conference was good last night. It inspired me and motivated me to try to do better. In some ways I am charitable, but in other ways it is a struggle. I find it, for example, easy to give money, but when it comes to give time and effort, well, let's just say I need to improve!

I am sure we all struggle with aspects of charity and service. I feel that we should recognize what we do right and that we are improving, rather than just beating ourselves up for not being perfect. That was one thing that was mentioned last night, more than once.

I do have to admit that the theme, "Instruments in the Hands of God," always makes me think of that old, yet famous, sermon, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God." I am glad we focus on more positive aspects of the gospel and in encouraging one another, rather than hearing those types of sermons, although it might do us good once in awhile!!

Next week is General Conference. Can't wait!!
