The stake Relief Society presidency gave a lesson in the Relief Society on Sunday (2/28/10). They emphasized the advantages of living a simple life. Here are some quotes:
"mothers who know do less...They allow less media in thier homes, less distraction, less activity that draws away from their home. Mothers who know are willing to live on less and consume less of the world's goods in order to spend more time with their children..." -Julie B. Beck, General RS
"We need to thoughtfully allocate our resources of time, income, and energy....No matter what your family needs are or your responsibilities in the church, there is no such thing as "done."...We just need to be wise in protecting our health and in following the counsel that Pres. Hickley has given often to just do the best that we can. The key, it seems to me, is to know and understand your own capabilities and limitaions and then to pace yourself, allocating and priortizing your time, your attention, and your resources to wisely help others, including your family, in their quest for eternal life." -Elder M. Russell Ballard
"Pause for a moment and check where your own heart and thoughts are. Are you focused on the things that matter most? How you spend your quiet time may provide a valuable clue...Are your thoughts and heart focused on those short-lived fleeting things that matter only in the moment or on things that matter most?...Sometimes the things that distract us are not bad in and of themselves; often they even make us feel good." -Pres. Dieter Uchtdorf
