Our lesson today was on Elder Christofferson’s General Conference Talk “One is Christ.”
Now I play the piano for primary, so after opening exercises and singing time I get to go to the last part of either Relief Society or Sunday School (depending on the week),
Therefore, I don’t get to hear the entire lesson. But that doesn’t matter, most of the time, with the bite I get it very uplifting.
Today was.
Conflict vs. harmony does not equal cheering for the same team or believing in the same political party.
It’s good to apologize when you did nothing wrong in order to welcome peace.
I shared through laughter and tears, competing on how to run the house. Since Bill has stopped working, he has been making changes. I expressed how I felt at first and still sometimes do, feel like my apron strings have been cut. I laughed as I’ve said to him, come on we have been doing this for 20 years, why change it now. That I need to give up control so he can run things as easy as he needs to, because he is the one doing the laundry, dishes and cleaning.
It felt really good to get that out. I felt validated and the laughter help me with the comical way of needing to look at it.
I am nowhere near calm and I do lose my temper easily. I know this is definitely something I need to work on and sometimes I feel he uses that against me.
I need to love him as our Savior had loved him. I need to resolve conflicts in my life.
I invite you along my journey in bettering our lives.
Have a great Sunday.
