Last Sunday, our Relief Society teacher reminded us of a talk that President Monson gave last November. He was being interviewed and when asked what he wanted for his birthday, he said he would like each of us to, "Find someone who is having a hard time or is ill or lonely, and do something for him or her." He then went on to tell how people from all over the world made his birthday wish come true. One group gave him a jar of "warm fuzzies". Children each week came to church and put pom poms into a jar for each good deed they did for someone else. Elena had a great idea to use this for Family Home Evening. So we started our warm fuzzy jar. We discussed different ways that we can earn warm fuzzies. When I went around to the kids, each could muster up at least one nice thing that they had done that day. When it was Paul's turn, he stated that he had the opportunity to punch someone and chose to refrain. Wow, great help Schoenrock! It may take a while to fill the jar! Today Wyatt and I were walking into Target and a lady with a sleeping little girl on her shoulder was loading her car. We went over and helped put the boxes in her trunk and took her cart. As we walked away, Wyatt said, "good job - we get a warm fuzzy." Nice to see a FHE lesson in action!
