Presidency Message

We always enjoy when our home teachers come into our home for a visit.  They bring a great message and spirit with them.  The message they most recently shared with us has stuck, BE GOOD AT BEING GOOD! Being good takes a lot of work and practice. They related it to athletes who spend hours and hours training, falling, getting back up, falling again, and trying yet again. Doing good and being good does not always come easy, we are sure to stumble along the way.

In a talk given by Elder Delbert L Stapley (Good Habits Develop Good Character) he teaches, "Good habits are not acquired simply by making good resolves, though the thought must precede the action. Good habits are developed in the workshop of our daily lives. It is not in the great moments of test and trial that character is built. That is only when it is displayed. The habits that direct and form our character are fashioned in the often uneventful, commonplace routine of life. They are acquired by practice. Self-mastery, self-control, and self-discipline are required strengths that enable us to set aside temptations to do wrong.  The human will is naturally inclined toward the right. We have a gracious, kind, and loving Father in heaven who stands ready to help us. Let us dare to be different from the ways of the world when its ways are not the ways of God."

As we strive to be good at being good we must remember it takes practice. If we fall or feel we are failing we must be persistent. With the support of each other and most importantly by making God the center of our lives we will succeed. It all starts with a single step - we decide that we can do it.  As a presidency we sincerely care for each of you! We encourage you to go about doing good to be good.

Love,

The Relief Society Presidency,

Marty, Lisa, Jan, Debbie & Jenny
