The biggest thought I have been left with was from Brother Crockett
during priesthood meeting. He related a story of when he was set apart
as a Bishop. He visited a stake conference at the tri-stake center in
Oakland. The visiting general authority interrupted the meeting, and
made a comment that all he saw was women carrying the babies out. He
admonished the men to take care of this task, as the women were with the
babies all week and deserved a break on Sunday. President Crockett
remarked how the brethren quickly repented, as he saw only men taking
children out of the meeting after this.
Sister Emily Herrera was
the youth speaker in sacrament meeting. She talked of time with her
mother being important, first to teach her how to cook and how to shop.
She goes shopping weekly with her mother, but is now cooking by herself
at least one meal a week.
Sister Peterson, our neighbor, talked
of some of the trials of motherhood, as well as the blessings. She is
tried in childbirth with a tailbone that always breaks. She also talked
of a couple trials with baby messes; but also the joys of being a
mother, relating stories of her siblings.
Brother Poole, former
bishop, talked about mothers and the priesthood, and how the roles
between man and woman is an equal partnership relationship. God took
the rib, to always remind man and woman to walk side-by-side.
Sweet times with Primary Children singing, and young men young women distributing flowers.
My thoughts: I think sometimes I feel certain tasks belong to Sheri, and even though I do them, I always do them with a chip on my shoulder, "see there, what I have done for you." I think that attitude does not reflect a side-by-side attitude and I need to repent.
