I got to Maryjane's after a long wait on the 401, or at least very slow traffic. Her house is under construction as well. It's awesome to see that in common at this period of her life. We used to have small children and spend so much of our time doing housework, trying to keep it clean inbetween caring for our little children.
I had such a powerful time at the temple yesterday. It was so nice to repent and to feel the love of the Lord. I am so grateul for what he elected to do for us. I have since seen the painting of the rich young man who wouldn't give up his riches and give to the poor. In another symbol, we are the poor and the Saviour was the rich young man who gave up it all for us.
MJ read a study about anger. The only thing that fixed anger was gratitude. Gratitude released a chemical in the brain that overcame anger. It's interesting. If you're angry and don't want to feel anger, then try being sincerely grateful. I wonder if it overcomes all bad feelings? Lonliness? Lonesomeness? are those the smae things? revenge. dislike. hatred. jealousy. ill will. judgementalism.
gratitude,
temple
