Heard this quote and had to share. It's in reference to the problems in our economy.
"It's a story about us, people, being persuaded to spend money we don't have on things we don't need to create impressions that won't last on people we don't care about."
One thing I have learned with age and maturity is the truth of this quote! It is so liberating to feel educated and wise enough to no longer feel the stress of having to "keep up with the Joneses". While there is still the yearning to progress and move forward, the motivation is no longer to please those around me, but rather to 1) put my Heavenly Father first and 2) make sure my husband and son are happy and loved! It's amazing how priorities shift when you become a parent.
I feel so blessed and so grateful! I love this beautiful time of year! The weather is gorgeous (80 degrees here today) and the leaves are turning and it is the season of sharing our gratitude!
I teach the 5-6 year olds in Primary and when I asked them what they were grateful for, first, they said Pumpkin pie (of course) :-) and then they said "Family!" How sweet these young children are! I just love teaching little ones!
Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!
