How to be totally miserable--Part 5

Always want More!!

Remember that in the end, surely God will be looking only for clean hands, not full ones--

Jeffrey R. Holland

The miserable think that what they have is never enough.  Like the Little Mermaid, who owned no fewer than twenty thingamabobs, they say, "But who cares, no big deal, I want MORE."  (How could you be miserable with twenty thingamabobs?)  The miserable say, "If only I had one of those, I'd be happy."  Actually, the more you have, the more you have to worry about---in other words, the more stuff you have, the more the stuff has you!!  Even Hollywood stars who appear to "have it all" have nothing if they haven't learned how to be content.  The only things we can take with us when we die are our character, our intelligence, and our relationships.  Everything else falls apart. 

Clothes attract moths, cars get rusty, and stuff gets stolen. 

That's why Jesus said, "Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal"  Matthew 6:20, New Testament.

A man is rich in proportation to the number of things which he can afford to let along.

Henry David Thoreau

R.S. Birthday Party!!

For those of you who missed it. 

I am sorry, because it was so good!! 

It was an amazing night with great food, great company, great talent, great program and great Spirit!!  The food was so good and the program was something that helped us all feel the spirit and maybe even helped us re-evaluate our lives and see where we can improve.  The oil in our lamps needs to be replenished daily through our dedication and partipation in doing good things. 
Thanks to all who worked so hard to make this evening happen.  We ended the night with a beautiful wedding cake made by our very own Carisa Wood.  It added so much to the evening and made us all feel like we were really attending a wedding feast.  Thanks to the 19th ward and the Greens Lake ward for their willingness to participate with us and make our R.S. birthday party such a great event. There was great effort made by all. 
And a BIG thank you to the ladies that performed in the Parable of the Ten Virgins.  The music was amazing and the talent that was shared was greatly appreciated. They worked hard to make the evening so enjoyable.  THANK YOU!!  Carisa, Amber and Charity all participated from our ward and represented us with flying colors.  Lots of beautiful voices and lots of beautiful sisters!!!
There will be pictures to come.  They are being edited as we speak.

THANKS FOR COMING AND SUPPORTING OUR RELIEF SOCIETY!!
