General Relief Society meeting

I loved Pres. Uchtdorf's talk tonight...He talked about Forget-Me-Nots being such a tiny over looked flower...but beautiful and important. he gave 5 points to remember...
1. Forget not to be patient with yourself !! It is part of your mortal experience to have weaknesses. Stop punishing yourself. Be patient and compassionate with yourself ! You have many unnoticed successes !
2.Forget not the difference between good sacrifice and foolish sacrifice. Am I committing my time and energies to the things that matter the most ?
3.Forget not to be HAPPY now ! Talking about Willy Wonka...Don't wait for you "golden ticket " to be happy. Don't put your happiness on hold. Don't be disappointed, withdrawn or lonely. If you spend your time expecting perfect big roses, you may miss the simple beauty of the Forget-me-nots. Treasure the everyday moments.
4.Forget not the WHY of the gospel. Practicing the gospel is not an obligation...it is a pathway to follow. Seek out the joy and majesty of the Why.
5. Forget not that the Lord loves YOU. You are NOT forgotten, where ever you are, what ever the circumstances may be. No matter how you feel..your Heavenly Father has not forgotten you. He knows you and your name. Allow his Divine Love into your life.
