Self reliant gospel learner

“let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me” (see Jeremiah 9:23–24).

What doctrine is being taught in these verses, and what do I learn about that doctrine?
Where and when have I seen this gospel principle effectively applied?
What do I learn about Heavenly Father and His plan for my happiness?
What do I learn about Jesus Christ and His Atonement?
What does the Lord want me to learn from this?
What inspired thoughts and feelings am I receiving as I read?
Is there something here that helps me with a current challenge in my life?
What do I learn that will help me live from day to day?

Parenting without anger

Think about where the anger is coming from. Is it actually another emotion? Like stress? Lack of sleep? Etc.

Think about the kid as a newborn before you yell at him. I wouldn't yell at the newborn. So don't yell at the kid.

Ask them to help you with how you're feeling and tell them how you are feeling. 

Think about what you think the perfect parent is. Then forget about it.... Focus on doing your best and slowly improving and keeping them alive.

Holiness

I want to increase the holiness in my home. That requires that I

Increase my own holiness.
Sit at the feet of the Savior.
Give time to holiness. Set aside my phone and my to do list.
Do and say and think things that invite the Spirit as my companion.
Develop Christlike attributes
Realize and remember my dependence on the Lord

Sabbath day

Prepare in advance. Clothes and meals schedules and snacks.

Study what I want to focis on

Repent all week and think about what I need to repent of.

Connecting prayers

Eyring said one way to improve prayers is to connect our morning prayers to our evening prayers....checking in, following up, repenting of....

Feeling the Holy Ghost means we are being sanctified and we are being remitted of our sins. 

Getting closer to Christ

Prayer can help us grow closer to Christ. He is our advocate. So when we pray to the Father we get closer to Christ. Faust said that when we pray fervently daily, we open up a flow of revelation and love and communication from Christ.

Working on my relationship with Jesus and Heavenly Father maybe is how I can figure out repentance and forgiveness right now. Because I'm at a loss.

Stake conference

Doing family history work can help protect us and give us strength against the adversary.

Doing family history work might help me enjoy the temple and learn more about it. 

A kid who recently got baptized talked about how the biggest change in him and his life was more love and compassion. That's the real influence of Christ. His and his family's conversions took a while and had lots of factors, and some of them were just LDS people being kind to them. This makes me want to be kind and talk to others.

Going to the temple precedes desire to keep going.

Overcoming adversity:
1 pray with gratitude
2 feast on his word
3 serve and share the gospel
4 look for joy
