It's a lovely sunday afternoon, conference sessions went very well. I particularly enjoyed the music sung by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Epecially the Primary songs like "Love is spoken here", "My Heavenly Father Loves Me", as well as the non-primary songs including "O Divine Redeemer" and "I Need Thee Every Hour".
I knew, but never really realized how meaningful the lyrics to primary songs were until Pres Henry B. Eyring read out the lyrics to the song "I'm Trying To Be Like Jesus" during the sunday morning session. Amazingly moving.
We just had our usual family sharing of what we took away from the conference. It's always interesting to hear what others have to say. I have quite a lot of favourites, one of them was by Elder Uchdorf, the last speaker for the Saturday morning session:
"Try and keep on trying until that which seems difficult becomes possible—and that which seems only possible becomes habit and a real part of you."
It's applicable to any task that I undertake, whether it be school, work, photography or ironing shirts (haha) - one of those things that get you thinking about improving your way of life. Perhaps I would call it a personal commitment of some sort.
I believe we can improve and build on today without having to wait for tomorrow.
