Weekly Thoughts!

Many of you may know that I am the secretary in the Relief Society Presidency. I love my calling, the presidency I am so lucky to get to work with, and I love the sisters in our ward. This calling has been so great for me to be able to get to know so many more sisters than the ones that I previously worked with in YW and Primary.
So I am now doing weekly thoughts and/or quotes through our email and I have decided that because they are uplifting I am going to put them on my blog. Some of them have questions and I would love it if you added your two cents on my comments.

This quote is about the unity in our home and the effect that the mom's attitude towards her family can have. After you have read the quote ask yourself, How can I increase unity in my family?

"May I suggest that we give more of ourselves...It might be something as simple as smiling more in our homes. What would you think of speaking more cheerfully? Trying more often to say please and thank you? What would you think of finding an opportunity for one sincere compliment for each person each day and then watching them respond? What if you decided to be cheerful tonight at the dinner table and at bedtime, and in spite of what others do or say, hold to your course. " H.Burke Peterson Conference Report Oct. 1972

What a challenge, good luck!!
