"Spiritually & Physically Fed"

Conference Weekend is all about being spiritually and physically WELL FED! There's nothing better than listening to the Prophet voice while eating a big, delicious, homemade breakfast. Except that you are doing it in your pajamas, that makes it even better! Gone are the days that I remember, when my parents would wake us up to get ready to leave for church so we could watch General Conference in the dark on the big Broadcast Screen. I hated leaving an hour early just to get a spot on the comfy rows not the hard folding chairs way in the back of the cultural hall. I love you KBYU, thank you for letting me watch General Conference from my very own couch! My kids don't realize how good they have it. But, they do appreciate it and have come to love our Conference Weekend Traditions. Eating breakfast on trays in front of the T.V. happens only twice a year in this house. I always try to surprise them with something new for breakfast, this time it was the "Love at Home" breakfast Strata. It was a big hit. Another tradition is Conference Journals. They each get a new journal to write their thoughts about conference or draw a picture of the speaker, then they take them to church to use for the next six months. Another favorite for the kids is Conference Bingo with M&Ms. Maddie won "black-out" this time. And we couldn't forget about the General Conference Activity Packet. We find them online and the kids really pay attention with the help of these. Personally, I loved being "Spiritually Fed" by our Prophet, he gave my favorite talk about Change. "Nothing is as constant as change!" Our realization of what's most important in life goes hand in hand with appreciation of blessings. I truly believe that. I need to in my life express more "Thank Yous" to the important people who make big or small difference in my days.
