Nov. 22

Nov. 22: Today was Thanksgiving! There was lots to be done. We were sharing Thanksgiving dinner with another family in our ward, but the mother of that family got sick yesterday, so my mother took it upon herself to cook basically everything for us and this other family. Being home from school, I wanted to take the time to sit around, watch movies and relax. Watching my mother work hard, I knew that being lazy wouldn't feel rewarding.
I helped my mother cook dinner today, and built my character by learning new skills and being helpful to another person. I honored my relationship with my mother and showed integrity by choosing to do what Heavenly Father felt was right rather than what I wanted to do.
