General Conference was this weekend. I LOVE General Conference. It is the weekend that church members around the world gather to listen to our prophet and apostles. You know that feeling of relief that Friday brings...the feeling of "Ahhh the weekend is here! I made it." That is how I feel about General Conference. It is a feeling of "Ahhh General Conference is here. I am centered again. The crazy world will be put right and in perspective by listening to what the Lord has to tell us." Which is that there is an eternal purpose to everything and that He loves us and wants us to be happy and return and live with Him again. It is a fun weekend because Bruce doesn't have his early bishopric meetings so we get to have him all day. Also because of lovely technology we can watch General Conference from home. It is just a relaxing Sunday. Wouldn't it be nice to sleep in a bit? That is where the "monkeys jumping on our bed" come in. It is not even 6:30am yet and already all the kids are piled in our bed. Seriously! Come on! Let your mom sleep! But Bruce had a good perspective and set me straight reminding me how lucky we are to have these kids and too soon they won't want to be snuggling up with us. He told me not to be cranky because we are so lucky. I was put in my place and it was a good reminder. We are so lucky to have three little monkeys jumping in our bed! Changing my attitude set a good tone for the rest of the day watching General Conference together--especially because our prophet, Thomas S. Monson's, talk was all about being thankful.
