ALWAYS room for Improvement!

I had an amazing experience. It was our Stake Priesthood meeting Sunday night and the Stakes Primary, Y.W. and Relief Society Presidencies were invited to attend and sit on the stand. It was quite an overwhelming experience to be in that kind of a setting. I was taken back by the power of the Priesthood and the amazing Stake we have full of good men and boys. The purpose of our Stake leaders inviting us was to (visually and audibly) talk about "Respecting women and girls" as well as "Pornography". I've never been in that kind of a setting before and by the end of the night the unity and the feeling of truly wanting to become better was so strong from these men that I wanted to run home to our daughters and, once again, remind them that they too MUST be respectful to the men in our lives. Being raised in this Gibbons family has meant a few things. 1) LOTS and LOTS of laughter (lots - daily), 2) Feeling the Spirit on a daily basis and, 3) Being SPOILED by the men folk!!! There isn't a day that goes by that I'm not thanked (over things that aren't even amazing), ALWAYS, everyday, ALL doors are opened for us, girls are ALWAYS first, and then on top all that - they're not even mean or rude or tease us! We're treated like QUEENS! I know I can personally do better. I LOVE that we live in an area where our leaders see a vision of "even though we're good people we can always improve"! I'll start and DO IT!!!!
