How to be totally miserable--Part 6

Complain about your blessings!!!

Lots of people complain.  Most people complain about their problems, but miserable people are different---they complain about their blessings.  If their car breaks down, they complain that it isn't new.  If their waitress is slow, they complain and withhold a tip.  If their cell phone drops a call, they complain about their service.  They're like the people in the Old Testament who got free food from heaven and said, "What?  Manna again?"  By contrast, happy people are grateful to have a car, thankful they can afford to eat at a restaurant, and stoked that they have a cell phone.  Most people in the world don't have cars, can't afford restaurants, and have never sent a text message.  Happy people count their blessings, while the miserable complain about theirs.

I complained because I had no shoes until I saw a man who had no feet!!

The only thing complaining does is convince

other people that you're not in control!!!

Temple Night for the ladies

Wednesday, April 16th is the night!! 

Remember that we meet at the church at 6:00, leaving at 6:15. 
Glenda was so touched when we told her that we were going as a group to put her name in the temple.  Please come and support her!!  There is power in numbers!!!  Please put it on your calendar and plan to come with us.  You will be blessed and so will your family!!!

Indexing...Night Activity for this month

We had a great meeting at my house last night.  We learned how to index.  Thank you to those that took the time to come.  We had some hands on situations that I hope helped each sister learn just how to do indexing on her own.  Teresa Skougaard was there giving helpful hints too.  For those of you that couldn't attend, just ask in Relief Society for help.  There are plenty of ladies that know how.  It really brings great blessings to you and your family.  Anitra made the comment that she heard Elder David A. Bednar give a statement on this very subject.  It goes something like this:  "If you are attending the temple without doing the work, you only receive half the blessings.  Doing the work for the dead, as in indexing and family names is the other half."  Anitra mentioned that she wants and needs the whole blessing not just half.  And it's true.  We need to be doing all we can to further the work of the gospel here on the earth.

 The Lord needs our help!!! 

Thanks to Trixie for the great food and thanks for coming.

+ Sisters---we want to challenge the brethren to see who can do the most indexing!!!

Bring it ON!!! 

Want a way to serve???

I had a great visit with Glenda yesterday.  She is trying so hard to keep a positive attitude and push through what is facing her in her life right now.  She was too sick to have a treatment this week, but she will have one on Monday.  Please, please keep her in your prayers and if you have a spare minute, go visit.  NO HUGS, because she is just getting better, but she loves visits.  It helps pass the time and gives her something to look forward to.  She is in Kolob and her room is 110.  She is a great lady!!

DON'T LOOK BACK,

YOU'RE NOT GOING THAT WAY!!!
