I just watched THIS video and I'm feeling...I don't know, overwhelmed.
The apples for this week have been hard for Zach and I over the last little while. It kind of makes me mad when basic things are hard for me. It is something I really get down on myself for. Mostly because I know they will help me if I do them...
*read scripture together and individually!
*pray together and individually!
I think doing just these things would make a bigger difference than we even realize!
Yesterday morning I was having yet another battle with my seven year old and I was feeling so terrible about it. I try so hard and yet it doesn't seem to work most of the time. I was feeling discouraged and sat down to do my own reading. I asked him if he would sit and read with me. He picked the chapter in the Book of Mormon. We switched off taking turns reading and I am amazed at the difference maker that it was! Nothing was said about our actions at that point. We both just felt better! I know that by doing this we invited the Spirit and what else could make a bigger difference in our relationships?!
I know that if we do the basic things to take care of our Spirit and invite the Holy Ghost into our lives and homes, we will find it easier to be kind and a lot of times we will see our troubles in a new light.

Love. I've been praying praying praying for the spirit to help me in my marriage and mothering and forgetting how important my role in inviting the spirit is through real scripture study, etc. Making a change to invite the spirit more has made a huge difference lately. :)
Awesome advice, Becca. Thanks!
