I was able to attend the Relief Society Broadcast last Saturday with my sister Abby and my sweet Mom.
There were three amazing speakers and every single talk was pointed straight at me, I'm sure of it.
President Monson's talk however had me at Hello.
It was on judgment and nurturing those around us.
He told a story about a young couple who had just gotten married. They lived in a basement apartment. A couple mornings a week the neighbor would hang her laundry out to dry on the line and Lisa would comment on how dirty the neighbor's laundry was. Her husband would never respond to her remarks.
One morning Lisa glanced out the window and was shocked at the cleanliness of the laundry.
"She finally figured out how to clean her laundry" She exclaimed.
"actually" John said, "I got up very early this morning, and cleaned our windows."
How often are we judging others and overlooking our own faults?
The Prophet also mentioned a few things I'll never forget.
*Charity is loving each other no matter what.
*Charity is recognizing that everyone around us is doing the best they can.
*Charity is having patience with those who have let us down.
*True Charity is love and action.
and most importantly
*Charity never faileth.
