So Excited for Saturday!

Saturday is the general Relief Society conference. I love Relief Society! To make sure I am prepared for and worthy of inspiration, I've decided to do something each day to bring extra focus.

Yesterday, I listened to this great interview between Sheri Dew and Julie B. Beck and her daughters. It's about an hour--and awesome! Wes and I talked about it all through dinner.

At one point, Sister Beck stated that she wanted her children to become people she would want to be friends with; that meant that she needed to parent them while they were young. They needed to learn virtue, manners, and a desire for education. This has me thinking: what skills/standards do I need to teach my sweet boys so that we can all be friends in the future?

A love of the Lord. A  love of learning, service, and charity. A desire to communicate clearly and effectively. Honesty and selflessness. So how to go about this?
