inspiring

This year's relief society broadcast was amazing and I recommend any of those who weren't able to attend, to watch/read it.  President Monson's talk was particularly moving.  The topic was about not judging each other and having charity - a concept we have all heard before but he teaches it in such a eloquent, moving way.  He mentioned one of my favorite quotes, "If you judge people, you have no time to love them." -Mother Teresa and shared some great stories.  A particularly great excerpt from his talk:


"Charity is having patience with someone who has let us down; it is resisting the impulse to become offended easily. It is accepting weaknesses and shortcomings. It is accepting people as they truly are. It is looking beyond physical appearances to attributes that will not dim through time. It is resisting the impulse to categorize others."


Watch the broadcast here.
